About McDONALD'S, QUARTER POUNDER with Cheese

This popular fast food burger features a quarter-pound beef patty topped with American cheese, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup, all served on a sesame seed bun. At 258 calories per 100g, it provides a substantial amount of protein (14.6g) along with a significant portion of daily fat intake (14.2g), making it a calorie-dense meal option.

The protein content comes primarily from the beef patty, offering complete proteins with all essential amino acids. However, the saturated fat content is notable, as is the sodium level from the processed cheese and condiments. The carbohydrate content (20g) is largely from the refined flour bun and added sugars in the ketchup and bun.

While not typically considered a health food, this burger can be part of a balanced diet when consumed occasionally. The protein can support muscle maintenance and satiety, while the iron content from the beef contributes to daily mineral needs. For those monitoring their intake, it's worth noting that this item is often served with additional high-calorie sides like fries and soda, which can significantly increase the total meal's nutritional impact. Some consumers choose to modify their order by removing the cheese or bun to adjust the macronutrient profile.
