Lowest Calorie Options at McDonald's

Everything here is under 400 kcal as McDonald's publishes it. These are single items. Add a side, a sauce or a full-sugar drink and the total moves well past that.

Highest Calorie Items at McDonald's

The heaviest single items on the McDonald's menu. A sharing platter or a bundle can go higher again once the components are added up.

McDonald's Allergens

UK law requires food businesses to declare 14 allergens. These are the ones McDonald's declares somewhere across the menu we track. Each item's own page lists the allergens for that item specifically.

A published list cannot account for a shared kitchen. If an allergy is severe, ask staff in the restaurant on the day. That is the only check that reflects how your order is actually prepared.

How McDonald's Calorie Labelling Works

The Calorie Labelling (Out of Home Sector) (England) Regulations 2021 took effect on 6 April 2022. They require businesses in England with 250 or more employees to show the calorie content of non-prepacked food and drink at the point a customer chooses, which covers menus, boards and online ordering. McDonald's is comfortably above that threshold, and that requirement is the reason a full kcal list exists for it at all.

Where you are matters, because the rules stop at the English border. Of the 119 McDonald's branches we list, 93 are in England and 26 are not: 13 in Scotland, 5 in Wales and 8 in Northern Ireland. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not brought in the same requirement, so those 26 sites are under no legal duty to print kcal on the board even though the figures below are published online.

What the numbers are: McDonald's own values for a standard portion, from recipe calculation and laboratory analysis. What they are not: a measurement of the plate in front of you. Portions are assembled by hand, a sauce gets a heavier pour on a busy shift, and any substitution you ask for moves the total. The spread on this menu runs from 12 kcal to 1193 kcal, a factor of 99, which is why a single average tells you very little about what you are about to order.

Every figure on this page came from McDonald's published data on 12 September 2026. Where a figure could not be obtained, the row says so rather than carrying an estimate of ours.

Frequently Asked Questions About McDonald's Calories

What is the lowest calorie option at McDonald's?
Sugar Stick at 12 kcal. 12 items we list are under 500 kcal, and they are grouped together above.
What is the most calorific thing at McDonald's?
The McDonald's Chicken Sharebox at 1193 kcal is the highest single item we hold for McDonald's. A sharing platter or a bundle can exceed that once combined.
Does McDonald's have to show calories on its menus?
In England, yes. The Calorie Labelling (Out of Home Sector) (England) Regulations 2021 took effect in April 2022 and require businesses with 250 or more employees to display kcal on menus and at the point of choice. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have not brought in the same requirement, so a McDonald's branch there may not show them in-store even though the figures are published online.
Are McDonald's calorie counts accurate?
They are McDonald's own laboratory or recipe-derived values for a standard portion, and they are the best figures available. What you are served is assembled by hand, so the real total varies with portioning, sauces and any substitution you ask for.
Where can I find McDonald's allergen information?
Each item's page lists the allergens McDonald's declares for it; across the menu that covers celery, eggs, fish, cereals containing gluten, milk and mustard and more. For a severe allergy, confirm in the restaurant on the day, shared kitchens carry a cross-contamination risk no published list can remove.
