Two patties, two slices of cheese
A McDonald's Double Cheeseburger is two beef patties and two slices of American cheese, with pickles, chopped onions, ketchup, and mustard on a regular bun. The patties bring the most calories and most of the protein. The second slice of cheese is all that sets it apart from a McDouble. McDonald's lists every ingredient and allergen on its Double Cheeseburger page.
| Part | Calories | Protein, fat, and carbs |
|---|---|---|
| Two beef patties | 180 kcal | 15 g protein, 15 g fat, 1 g carbs |
| Bun | 140 kcal | 5 g protein, 2 g fat, 27 g carbs |
| Two slices of cheese | 100 kcal | 5 g protein, 8 g fat, 3 g carbs |
From McDonald's nutrition calculator, with each part taken out in turn. Taking out the pickles, onions, ketchup, or mustard leaves the calories unchanged. The parts add up to 420 calories, not 440, because McDonald's rounds each number.
