About McDONALD'S, QUARTER POUNDER
McDonald's Quarter Pounder skips the bun extras and focuses on the quarter-pound beef patty, which delivers substantially more protein and fat than the Cheeseburger. Ketchup, mustard, onion, and pickles season it without adding much in the way of fat. The bun is the standard white roll. Fiber remains low. The larger beef patty makes this noticeably more filling than the smaller burgers, and the protein content climbs accordingly. A straightforward beef-forward hamburger without many distractions.
