Nutrition Facts

McDonald's states:
"McDonald's has provided nutrition information about its menu for more than 30 years. McDonald's strives to help its customers make informed food choices, by offering nutrition information in five different ways: nutritional facts brochure in the restaurant, www.mcdonalds.com website, on the reverse side of trayliners, on select packaging and our toll-free number, 1-800-244-6227.

McDonald's cares about the health and well being of its customers. To demonstrate, McDonald's offers a variety of great tasting, quality food choices in a number of serving sizes to fit many nutrition needs. McDonald's encourages you to try its "Made For You" cooking system. Upon placing their order, customers can request modifications to any menu item, to the extent possible, to meet specific nutrition needs. For example, to lower your sodium intake during a McDonald's meal, request no added salt from the shaker to the French fries. To lower your fat intake, request that tartar or Big Mac sauces not be added to sandwiches.

The vast majority of nutrition professionals agree that McDonald's food can be part of a healthy diet based on the sound nutrition principles of balance, variety and moderation. Nutrition experts tell us that a key to a healthy diet is to moderate, not eliminate, favorite foods because eliminating foods is rarely successful long term. In fact, the American Dietetic Association says that all foods can fit into a healthy diet and that what's most important is eating a balanced diet over time, rather than any one food or meal."
