Diet-pattern options
- Portion-aware: a hamburger plus apple slices and water is a smaller meal; add food if it does not meet your energy needs.
- Higher protein breakfast: Egg McMuffin provides 17 g before customization.
- Vegetarian or vegan: U.S. meal options are limited and preparation ingredients can change. Use the live ingredient list rather than assuming fries or breakfast items qualify.
- Lower sodium: most entrées contribute meaningful sodium; compare complete orders and customizations.
- Gluten-aware: removing a bun changes ingredients but does not guarantee freedom from gluten cross-contact.
Do not confuse “small” with nutritionally complete
Lower calories can simply mean less food. For a full meal, consider protein, carbohydrate, produce, satisfaction and the time until the next eating opportunity.
