About McDONALD'S, QUARTER POUNDER with Cheese
McDonald's Big Mac is defined by its double patty, special sauce, and the middle bun slice that separates two layers of beef, cheese, lettuce, and pickles. Fat runs higher than a single-patty burger because of the double meat and sauce, the special sauce adds some sugar and fat of its own, and carbohydrates are spread across three bun layers. Protein is moderate. The architecture of the burger - more bread layers, more sauce - gives it a richer, heavier eating experience than it might appear.
