McDonald's US Happy Meal: calories, sugar and sodium for every item

All three Happy Meals come with Kids fries, apple slices and a 1% milk jug. The McNuggets meals carry no added sugar at all and the Hamburger meal 5g, all from the burger. Sodium runs from 510mg to 680mg, a third to nearly half of the daily limit for a child aged 4 to 8, before any dip. A Tangy Barbeque dip adds 9g of added sugar.

The 3 items in this section range from 395 calories for the McDonald's US Chicken McNuggets (4 piece) Happy Meal up to 475 calories for the McDonald's US Hamburger Happy Meal. Boone measures added sugar against the US per-meal limit and sodium against limits by age and sex, and the calculator on every page can switch to UK guidance.
