Let’s take a look at McDonald’s Australia calories. It is pretty much the entire Macca’s menu, arranged from lowest calories to highest. Why?

Low Calorie McDonald’s: There are some Options!
McDonalds is not exactly anyone’s idea of a health-food restaurant. You do not eat at McDonalds when you are going out of your way to find highly nutritious, micronutrient-rich meals. The food is lab-designed to have the flavour and content which appeals to the maximum number of people in the mass market. This inevitably means that highly calorific, heavily salted, and intensely processed products dominate their menu.
That said, there is nothing wrong with the occasional Maccas when fast, convenient food is a necessity (occasional means intervals of several weeks). There are indeed some low calorie options at McDonald’s. There are also a handful of meal options which do not fit the stereotype of “junk food”. This list of McDonalds foods is ranked by calories per serve (per burger, box, wrap, and tub). We did not include drinks, if we had water and Coke No Sugar would have been listed at the top.
Well, there you have it, the long list of foods sold over the counter at McDonalds. If reading this has made you conscious of fast food calories, why not check out our post 5 quick tips to make food healthier?
