Hamburger

This burger is a McDonald's standard, and it's known for how simple it is. A simple but tasty meal is made by putting vegetables, mustard, and ketchup on top of a single patty.

Filet-O-Fish

This fish burger is a popular item at McDonald's. All you need is a bun, a fish patty, tartar sauce, and cheese. Fish is a better choice than beef because it is naturally leaner and has fewer grams of saturated fat.

Cheeseburger

A single slice of cheese adds 50 calories and a couple of grams of protein to the burger. Even though it has some saturated fat, the total number of calories is still fine for a meal.

McChicken

McDouble

The next one on our list is the McDouble®, which has a pretty big jump in salt and saturated fat. Two patties, one slice of cheese, and the bun give the burger its calories and fat.

Spicy McCrispy

Although this option has the same Spicy Pepper Sauce, it swaps tomato and lettuce for pickles, creating a sandwich with even more sodium.
