There is only one BIG MAC! Just the look of this tasty and aromatic giant is good enough to tempt you. It is made with a double layer of sear-sizzled 100% pure beef that mingles with sauce and melted cheese, diced onion, crisp shredded iceberg lettuce and a crunch of pickle. A Big Mac of Hamburgers contains about 25g Protein per serving. NUTRITION FACTS - HAMBURGERS - BIG MAC MCDONALD'S You searched for protein in Big Mac which belongs to Fast Food.

We have all been stuck in a situation where we are at a fast food restaurant during the middle of an intense training stretch and we are trying to eat clean and build muscle. What do you do if your friends or family want to stop at McDonald’s, but you are in beast mode trying to get those gains?!

This happens to me almost every week. Although I am passionate about building the best physique possible, you have to have balance and enjoy time with friends and family. Eating out is a social event, and in order to stay normal and not sacrifice your lifestyle for lean muscle gains, you need to learn how to order lean muscle-building meals wherever you are.

Somebody asked me last week if you could eat anything healthy at McDonald’s that would actually contribute to lean muscle gains. Since McDonald’s is one of the most popular restaurants in the world and almost all of us eat there at some point throughout the year, I decided to check out my local McDonald’s menu and come up with a muscle-building meal.

With some creativity, I am excited to share with you my high protein McDonald’s meal that will help you guys get jacked and build lean muscle. Next time your friends, family, or girlfriend want to stop at McDonald’s, make sure to try this meal to help you build lean muscle mass and get jacked!

Let’s dive right in and see what I ordered!

Muscle-Building Meals: High Protein McDonald’s Feast

As I pull up to the drive-thru, I only had one thing on my mind – gains! Who would have thought that I could roll up to the McDonald’s drive-thru after an intense workout and get in a serious muscle-building meal.

The great thing about most fast food places is that with some creativity, it is not impossible to consume a high protein meal that coincides with the perfect muscle-building diet.

This was not the cleanest meal I have ever eaten, but it was a high-quality cheat meal that was perfect for any bodybuilder or guy looking to pack on muscle mass.

Here was my complete order complete with the macronutrient total. As you can see, this is one fantastic cheat meal idea from McDonald’s that will help you pack on mass.

Muscle-Building Fast Food Checklist:

1. Premium Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken (Low-Fat Balsamic Vinegar dressing)

3. Premium McWrap with Sweet Chili Sauce

Total Meal Macronutrients:

Calories: 905

Protein: 72

Carbohydrates: 75

Fat: 36

As you can see, this is a pretty high calorie meal, but it is loaded with protein and has a good ratio of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. This is about the highest protein cheat meal you will be able to come up with at McDonald’s while keeping your total calories under 1,000.

Muscle-Building Fast Food Blueprint

With some creativity, it is not hard to eat a high-protein reasonably lower calorie meal at any fast food restaurant. You can use the formula I used at this McDonald’s location with pretty much any fast food restaurant. The first fast food rule is to order a salad with grilled chicken and a low-fat dressing.

The next step to the fast food muscle-building blueprint is to order a protein ala carte. Every fast food restaurant will have a grilled chicken burger or some kind of hamburger. Simply order a grilled chicken breast or a beef patty by itself. Not only will this be way cheaper to do, but you will also save a ton of calories. I could have actually made this McDonald’s meal even healthier if I got a grilled chicken patty instead of a beef patty. Some fast food places such as In-N-Out actually have hamburgers that are wrapped in lettuce and use higher quality beef. The protein-style lettuce-wrapped burger is one of my favorite fast food cheat meals. It is delicious and is loaded with protein and very few carbohydrates.

The next option if you really want a huge meal is to order some kind of grilled chicken wrap or sandwich. This is going to be your main source of carbohydrates while still keeping the total calories of the meal fairly low. Since I didn’t have any carbohydrates with my salad or my beef patty, I decided to treat myself to a sweet chili wrap. It was delicious and less than 400 total calories. Most fast food places have some sort of grilled chicken wrap or sandwich. Make sure to watch out for the dressing or sauce on these. I suggest getting the sauce on the side and using it sparingly if you want to lower your total sugar and fat content of the meal.

Muscle-building fast food is not hard to pull off if you follow these three steps. If I was in my fitness model mode and still HAD to eat at McDonald’s, I would have changed my order to the Southwest Chicken Salad with grilled chicken and Balsamic dressing, grilled chicken patty a la carte, and the Premium Grilled Chicken McWrap with no tortilla. These swaps would have lowered the total calories of the meal to fewer than 700 while still giving me the same amount of protein.

Next time you are at McDonald’s, remember this easy guide so you can chow down on a delicious cheat meal that will satisfy your appetite and your gains!

What's Really In A Big Mac?
The answer is… a sesame seed bun, American cheese, special sauce, 100% beef patty, sliced pickles, shredded lettuce and onions… or so we're told.
On closer inspection when perusing the US McDonald's website there are over 72 ingredients that go into this world famous burger. Many of which I wouldn't be happy putting in my (or my kids) mouths.
I can hardly refer to many of these ingredients as “food” as they are far from natural or providing your body with any form of nutrition. In fact, McDonald’s even refers to them as “components of their popular menu”, making them sound like pieces of man-made, processed products (which is exactly what they are).
We all know that fast food is unhealthy, but have you ever stopped to really inspect what the “secret” ingredients are?
Let’s lift the bun off the Big Mac and see what’s really inside…

BIG MAC BUN:

Ingredients:Enriched Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sugar, Yeast, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil, Contains 2% or Less: Salt, Wheat Gluten, Calcium Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Ammonium Sulfate, Ammonium Chloride, Dough Conditioners (May Contain One or More of: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, DATEM, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide, Mono and Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Monoglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Enzymes, Guar Gum, Calcium Peroxide), Sorbic Acid, Calcium Propionate and/or Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Soy Lecithin, Sesame Seed.
CONTAINS: WHEAT AND SOY LECITHIN.
Wow! That’s a lot of ingredients just to make a burger bun. It definitely doesn’t look anything like the traditional days of just 4 simple ingredients: flour, water, salt and yeast.
High fructose corn syrup and sodium sound tempting? Those ingredients are two of the best serial killers in the world! They get away with murder, causing an epidemic of obesity and seeing a nation struggling with heart disease and diabetes. So why do they put it in? Because it’s addictive and makes your body crave more!
How about some azodicarbonamide on the side? This is a delicious (note the sarcasm) bleaching agent that is a known carcinogen.

PASTEURIZED PROCESSED AMERICAN CHEESE:

Ingredients: Milk, Cream, Water, Cheese Culture, Sodium Citrate, Contains 2% or Less of: Salt, Citric Acid, Sodium Phosphate, Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Lactic Acid, Acetic Acid, Enzymes, Sodium Pyrophosphate, Natural Flavor (Dairy Source), Color Added, Soy Lecithin (Added for Slice Separation). CONTAINS: MILK AND SOY LECITHIN
I don’t know about you, but that definitely doesn’t sound like cheese to me. It sounds like the chemicals for a science experiment.
Notice how the recognisable ingredients are always listed first, followed by the “secret” formula.

BIG MAC SAUCE:

Ingredients: Soybean Oil, Pickle Relish (Diced Pickles, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Vinegar, Corn Syrup, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate [Preservative], Spice Extractives, Polysorbate 80), Distilled Vinegar, Water, Egg Yolks, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Onion Powder, Mustard Seed, Salt, Spices, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Mustard Bran, Sugar, Garlic Powder, Vegetable Protein (Hydrolyzed Corn, Soy and Wheat), Caramel Color, Extractives of Paprika, Soy Lecithin, Turmeric (Color), Calcium Disodium EDTA (Protect Flavor).
CONTAINS: WHEAT, EGG AND SOY.
Well, for a start there are 33 ingredients in this sauce (33!!), 4 of which are sugars, including the silent killers: High Fructose Corn Syrup and Sodium. The real clincher in this sauce however, is propylene glycol alginate (nicely hidden in between the spices). What is propylene glycol? Well, it’s an ingredient found in anything from anti-freeze and engine coolants, to shampoo, to… well, the big mac sauce. Tasty?

100% BEEF PATTY:

Ingredients:100% Pure USDA Inspected Beef; No Fillers, No Extenders.
Prepared with Grill Seasoning (Salt, Black Pepper).
Doesn’t sound so bad? Well for one, ALL beef in the US has to be USDA inspected, otherwise it would be illegal! The fact they market their beef as “100% pure” actually means nothing. It’s like claiming their pickles are made out of 100% pickle! It may or may not be pure and legally doesn’t need to include the chemicals/toxins used in the processing of the meat. All smoke and mirrors! Let’s keep going...

PICKLE SLICES:

Ingredients:Cucumbers, Water, Distilled Vinegar, Salt, Calcium Chloride, Alum, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Natural Flavors (Plant Source), Polysorbate 80, Extractives of Turmeric (Color).
Come on!! It’s a pickle!! How can a food this simple and traditionally healthy, end up being so harmful for your health? Did you know that when cucumbers are lacto-fermented they have the ability to dissolve the stone forming uric acid that can result from eating certain meat? Well, these faux-pickles certainly don’t do that.

Thank goodness!! It’s actually lettuce and onions!
I understand that it’s impossible for everyone to avoid fast-food restaurants, and that sometimes you are limited on food choices, especially on long-haul drives across the country. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t know what you are putting in your body and be provided with all the facts to make informed choices.

If you want to indulge in fast food, just try to keep it as an irregular occurrence, as all those toxins and chemicals can do serious harm to your body, especially if you are consuming them on a regular basis.
All of the ingredients above have come straight from this official McDonald’s PDF.
In good health,
James.
