Why McDonald's for macro tracking?
McDonald's publishes ingredient-level nutrition data for every item on the menu, which makes it one of the easier fast-casual chains to hit a real protein target without guessing. We've pulled the calories, protein, carbs, and fat for every menu item below, plus our editor's high-protein order picks and the sneaky add-ons that quietly push your calories past 1,000.
Editor's High-Protein Pick
Build the leanest version of your bowl: lead with a double protein (chicken, steak, or tofu), keep the dressing on the side, and skip the bread or chips. You'll usually land between 45 and 60g of protein for under 700 calories.
