A McDouble costs $3.49 and carries 390 calories with 22g of protein. The only thing separating it from a Double Cheeseburger is one slice of cheese.
A McDouble contains 390 calories, 22g of protein and 20g of fat, and costs $3.49 at the national midpoint. Two beef patties, one slice of cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard. It carries the best protein per dollar of any burger McDonald's sells.
McDonald's added the McDouble to the Dollar Menu in 2008 as a cheaper answer to the Double Cheeseburger, and the design was deliberate: drop one slice of cheese, keep both patties, charge less. Eighteen years later it is still the value pick, and it sits on the Under $3 McValue menu at participating restaurants. This page covers the price, the full macros, how it differs from the Double Cheeseburger, and the calorie counts for ordering it without the bun or cheese. Prices for the rest of the range are on our McDonald's burgers menu, and the full board is on the McDonald's menu with prices.
Our surveyed national midpoint is $3.49. This is one of the few items where McDonald's runs an advertised value price at participating restaurants, so some boards list it under three dollars on the McValue menu while others sit closer to $4.50.
390 calories with 22g of protein, 20g of fat and 33g of carbohydrate. For anyone tracking macros, the protein-to-calorie ratio is 5.6g per 100, which is among the strongest on the McDonald's menu and better than a Big Mac at 4.2g.
Two 1.6oz beef patties seasoned with salt and pepper only, one slice of American cheese, pickle slices, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard, on a toasted regular bun. Contains wheat, milk, soy and sesame. There is no plant-based version on the US menu.
One slice of cheese. That is the entire difference, and everything else follows from it. Same two patties, same bun, same pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard. McDonald's created it in 2008 precisely so it could sell a double-patty burger at a lower price by removing that one slice.
If you want the extra melt, take the Double Cheeseburger. If you are counting calories, sodium or money, this one wins on all three while giving you the same amount of beef. That second slice sits between the patties, so it does change the texture noticeably even though it changes very little else.
Most guides publish the standard 390 and stop there. If you are eating low carb, keto or dairy free, the number you actually need is different, and McDonald's will make any of these modifications at no extra charge.
These modified figures are calculated by subtracting McDonald's published component values and are close approximations rather than official numbers. McDonald's does not publish nutrition for customised orders. Note that a bunless McDouble is still not gluten free, because the kitchen is not a gluten free environment.
Two different bundles use this burger and they are easy to confuse. The $5 Meal Deal is the McValue bundle with nuggets included. The standard value meal is the ordinary combo with medium fries and a medium drink.
Two burgers get confused with this one, and they are genuinely different builds rather than minor variations. The Bacon McDouble adds Applewood smoked bacon; the Daily Double swaps the whole topping profile.

390 calories, with 22g of protein, 20g of fat and 33g of carbohydrate. Older guides publish 400, which reflects an earlier formulation. Without the bun it drops to roughly 240.
$3.49 at the national midpoint. Participating restaurants list it on the Under $3 McValue menu, while airport and highway sites reach $4.59. Franchisees set their own board, so there is no single nationwide price.
One slice of cheese. Both have two beef patties, the same bun and the same pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard. The Double Cheeseburger has two cheese slices, which adds 50 calories, 3g of protein and roughly 70 cents.
22g, which is 44% of the daily value. At 5.6g per 100 calories and 6.3g per dollar, it carries the best protein-per-dollar ratio of any burger McDonald's sells — better than a Big Mac at 3.9g.
Roughly 240 calories, with carbs dropping from 33g to about 7g while protein stays at 21g. McDonald's will serve it in a container at no extra charge. Order through the app or kiosk rather than at the counter for a more reliable result.
About 340, down from 390. Removing the cheese takes out roughly 50 calories, 3g of protein and the main dairy source. Combined with no bun it lands near 190.
Two 1.6oz beef patties seasoned with salt and pepper, one slice of American cheese, pickle slices, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard on a toasted bun. It contains wheat, milk, soy and sesame.
A McDouble, 4-piece Chicken McNuggets, small fries and a small soft drink, for 960 calories. Those four items bought separately come to around $11, so the saving is roughly $6.
The toppings. The Daily Double uses shredded lettuce, tomato, slivered onions and mayonnaise where it uses pickles, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard. Both have two patties and 22g of protein, but the Daily Double is 490 calories against 390.
450 calories with 26g of protein, at around $4.49. The Applewood smoked bacon adds roughly 60 calories and 4g of protein over the standard version.
22g protein, 33g carbohydrate and 20g fat for 390 calories. That splits roughly 23% protein, 34% carbs and 46% fat by calories. Dropping the bun shifts it to about 35% protein and 12% carbs.
On protein per dollar it is the best burger on the menu. 22g for $3.49 beats every other option, and the $5 Meal Deal beats it again. The trade-off is 850mg of sodium, which is 37% of the daily recommendation.
