How My McDonald's Breakfast Made Me Guilty


One morning, I went to McDonald's to buy breakfast. I usually have breakfast at home, but after a long shuttle ride, I would sometimes feel hungry again.

I ordered my favorite: Sausage and Egg Muffin, Hash Brown, and Brewed Coffee.

As I was waiting for my orders, I took a leaflet which I thought was a delivery menu (I try to collect the menu from different restaurants). It turned out to be the McDonald's Nutrition Information.



After finishing my breakfast, I read the leaflet and to see how many calories my breakfast has. And this is what I saw:

Hash Brown: 320 Calories
Sausage & Egg Muffin: 390 Calories

That's 710 calories on just breakfast. And I'm not even counting the calories from brewed coffee. It made me very guilty that I lost my appetite for lunch.

Given that, I would like to share with you the calories from other McDonald's favorites:

6 pc McNuggets: 320 Calories
Hamburger: 240 Calories
Cheeseburger: 420 Calories
Quarter Pounder with Cheese: 560 Calories
Big Mac: 510 Calories
Crispy Chicken Fillet Sandwich: 400 Calories
Chicken McDo: 310 Calories
Crispy Chicken Fillet with Rice: 450 Calories
McSpaghetti: 270 Calories
Hot Fudge/Hot Caramel Sundae: 270 Calories
Regular Fries: 210 Calories
Medium Fries: 310 Calories
Large Fries: 490 Calories
Regular Coke: 140 Calories
Medium Coke: 190 Calories
Large Coke: 260 Calories

Let's try to do some math and let's compute my favorite McDonald's lunch:

6 pc McNuggets, Medium Fries and Medium Coke
320 + 310 + 190 = 820 Calories

If I was craving for dessert, I would usually add a Hot Fudge Sundae:
so 820 + 270 = 1090 Calories

That's more than enough to make me feel guilty. :(

How about you? What's your usual McDonald's meal? What're the total calories from your meal?

  12. what surprised me here is that a small piece of chicken fillet (and one of the cheapest on their menu) has more calories than a cheeseburger, it might be because of the rice?
