McDonald's Nutrition: Full UK Menu Breakdown

Boone uses the nutrition and allergen information McDonald's publishes for its UK menu, then calculates free sugar and how much of the daily guidelines each item uses for your age and sex.

Boone updates the McDonald's pages when McDonald's changes its published UK nutrition information, including new items, recipe changes and items leaving the menu.

No. Recipes, ingredients and portion sizes vary by country, so McDonald's figures from the US or elsewhere do not apply here. Boone only uses McDonald's UK nutrition information.

Each McDonald's item shows its calories, sugar, free sugar, saturated fat, salt and protein, along with the allergens McDonald's declares. Every figure is also shown as a share of the daily guideline for your age and sex.

Open any McDonald's item and set an age and sex. The calculator shows its calories, sugar, salt, saturated fat and protein as a share of that person's daily guidelines, and you can adjust the portion size.

Yes. Start with any McDonald's item, then add sides and drinks to build the meal. The calculator totals the calories and nutrition and shows how the whole meal fits the daily guidelines for your age and sex.

Yes. Sides, drinks, and sauces or dips where McDonald's lists them, can all be added to a meal. Each addition updates the meal's calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat.

Boone uses UK government and NHS guidelines, which differ by age and sex. Saturated fat is limited to 20g a day for women and 30g for men, and free sugar to 30g for adults but 19g for children aged 4 to 6. Choosing an age and sex recalculates every figure against the right limits.

For adults, the reference intake is 2,000 kcal and 70g of fat a day, with no more than 20g of saturated fat for women or 30g for men, 30g of free sugar and 6g of salt. Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt.

Children have lower limits for free sugar and salt and need less energy, so the same item uses a bigger share of their day. A child aged 4 to 6 has a limit of 19g of free sugar and 3g of salt, compared with 30g and 6g for an adult.

No. Calories and nutrients change with portion size, so where McDonald's sells an item in more than one size, each size is listed separately. You can also adjust the portion in the calculator.

Yes. Sauces and dips can add a noticeable amount of sugar, salt and calories, especially if you have more than one. Where McDonald's publishes nutrition for them, you can add them to your meal in the calculator.

Where McDonald's publishes nutrition for its drinks, they are listed with the same detail as food and can be added to any meal. Sugary drinks are often the largest single source of free sugar in a meal.

McDonald's publishes total sugar, which includes the sugar naturally found in milk and whole fruit. NHS limits apply only to free sugars, so Boone separates the two and measures free sugar against your daily limit. That is why an item can use less of your limit than its total sugar suggests.

Fat is the total of all the fats in an item. Saturated fat is one type within that total and has its own daily limit, 20g for women and 30g for men, because eating too much can raise cholesterol.

Yes, as part of a balanced diet. Checking a McDonald's meal's calories, saturated fat, sugar and salt against your daily guidelines shows how much room is left for the rest of the day.

Choose a smaller portion, swap a sugary drink for water or a zero sugar option, and go easy on sauces and dips. The calculator shows how each change affects the meal before you order.

Yes. Each McDonald's item gives calories, sugar, saturated fat, salt and protein that you can log in any tracker. In the Boone app you can also snap a photo of your meal to log it.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan items on the McDonald's UK menu are included with the same calorie and nutrition detail as everything else. Browse them together on the McDonald's vegetarian and McDonald's vegan pages.

Yes. Each McDonald's item page lists the allergens McDonald's declares, including where cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. If you have a severe allergy, always check with the restaurant before ordering.
