How to order at McDonald’s
- A hamburger can anchor a smaller meal; it is not automatically a complete meal for every adult.
- Breakfast sandwiches can offer more protein than many snack-style orders, with sodium as an important trade-off.
- Fries, sauces and caloric drinks belong in the comparison when they are part of what you eat.
