12 Healthier Options at McDonald’s: Low Calorie and More

 5. Blueberry muffin

Surprisingly, many of the sweet baked goods on the McDonald’s menu are high in sodium, with some packing more than 20% of the recommended Daily Value into a single serving (2Trusted Source).

The blueberry muffin is one of the lower-sodium options available, with 360 mg in each serving.

However, keep in mind that it’s also high in calories, carbs, and added sugar, so it should be considered an occasional indulgence rather than a staple in your daily diet.

6. Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe (no bun or ketchup)

You can easily cut the carb content of almost any item from McDonald’s, including the Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe, by removing the bun and ketchup.

With these custom requests, this burger contains just 5 grams of net carbs per serving.

Although it can fit into a ketogenic diet, keep in mind that the Quarter Pounder is high in saturated fat, sodium, and trans fat. Therefore, while it’s fine to enjoy from time to time, it shouldn’t become a regular part of your diet.
