Well, if you ask us, a yummy McDonald’s protein pick is always a great choice! From eggs to cheese, chicken and paneer, we love the power of a trusty protein that is not only tasty but one we can rely on to keep our energy levels in check.
In fact, starting your day with a protein you like is a good idea – they keep you fuller for longer periods. Until your next meal, that is… 🥰 There’s a reason why our Egg and Cheese McMuffin® is a preferred morning pick. The thing about our bodies is that they don’t store proteins like they do carbohydrates, fats, and other nutrients, meaning you need a fresh supply of proteins every day. No problem for us – one yummy burger, coming up!
McDonald’s cheesy, peas-y picks that make your protein choices, easy-peasy
It’s a known fact that the McDonald’s India menu is as versatile as they come 💛 We have cool ingredients to work with. One of them – you guessed correct – is a fave in the Indian subcontinent… PANEER! The spongey and soft paneer is a wholesome protein addition to your diet. Our Big Spicy Paneer Wrap features a succulent paneer patty in a spicy crispy coating, served in a whole-wheat wrap with cheese, lettuce, onions, tom-mayo sauce, and tomatoes.
Hear, hear: Our McCheese Burger® (Chicken) or McCheese Burger® (Veg) are great cheesy options too. Their gooey, cheese-filled patties are EVERYTHING! 👍🏽
Did you know that adults need approximately 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, daily? If you do the math, that’s about 48-56 grams of protein for the average person.
Lucky for you, if you take a closer look at the freely available nutritional info (on all our Apps, in-store, and the website) of a particular menu item, you can get the protein intake you need. Our Masala McEgg® Burger has 12.21 grams of protein per serving. The McSpicy™ Paneer Burger? 20.29 grams of protein per serving. The Veg Maharaja Mac® has a whole 24.17 grams of protein per serving. Wow!
McDonald’s Real Food innovations and ‘feel good’ options
Keeping Indian taste buds at the forefront alongside our customers’ dietary needs IS the way we like to do it at McDonald’s India. The McDonald’s Real Food, Real Good concept highlights this. The idea of Real Food, Real Good is reflected in select menu items that are free from Artificial Colours and Artificial Flavours, and that carry no added MSG in the chicken offerings.
There is one all time hit pick that makes #1 on everyone’s lists, ours too… It’s none other than the world-famous McAloo Tikki Burger® with proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats matching those recommended by the National Institute of Nutrition (Hyderabad). Mindful indulgence! Our recently-launched, nutrient-rich Multi-Millet Buns, co-developed with the CFTRI, are a good source of proteins and fibre too.
Now, the question is… What’s your preferred McDonald’s protein pick, and is there a protein you’d like more of?
