Are YOU Lovin' It?
McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. will soon get a new menu addition: The number of calories in the chain's burgers and fries.
The world's biggest hamburger chain said Wednesday that it will post calorie information on
restaurant and drive-thru menus nationwide starting Monday. The move
comes ahead of a regulation that could require major chains to post the
information as early as next year.
"We want to voluntarily do this," said Jan Fields, president of McDonald's USA. "We believe it will help educate customers."
McDonald's is also testing healthier options for next year,
such as an Egg McMuffin made with egg whites and a whole grain muffin.
The sandwich has Canadian bacon and white cheddar cheese and clocks in
at 260 calories. It will be called the Egg White Delight.
The
chain is also testing versions of the McWrap, which is a bigger version
of its chicken Snack Wrap that is already sold in Europe. The wraps
have sliced cucumbers and range from 350 calories to 580 calories.
Would knowing the calorie count of a fast food item change your mind about ordering it?
