1. Can you please tell me what it the lowest calorie meal I can order from your menu please?
Thank you for your question. Our menu is designed to help you make informed choices about your food. You can find nutrition information on the reverse of our trayliners or by visiting our website www.mcdonalds.co.uk and selecting Nutrition and Ingredients in the Food section. For all our Extra Value Meals you can order a side salad instead of a medium fries at no extra cost. A meal which provides lower calories could be a Filet-O-Fish with a Garden Side Salad, Balsamic Dressing and Mineral Water. At 380 kcal this provides 19% of the Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) for an average woman. Alternatively order one of our Grilled Chicken Salad Wraps with a Garden Side Salad, Balsamic Dressing and Mineral Water. This will provide 400 kcal and be 20% GDA for an average woman. An even lower energy meal would be provided by choosing one of our salads. A Grilled Chicken Salad with Balsamic Dressing and a Mineral Water will provide 135 kcal and be just under 7% GDA for an average woman. Try using our nutrition counter on our website to work out what other meal choices would be. (July 2011)

2. What is the nutritional information for the Savoury Cheese Bites? They are not on the tray liner, and your info website does not work with apple devices, as it is Flash-based, so I cannot access it.

3. Do you believe that you provide consumers with sufficient nutritional information for your products? For example, do you feel its fair that the ingredients for your product range can only be found on the internet and not in your restaurants?
Thanks for your question. McDonald’s UK is very open about the nutritional information on all our products. You can find nutritional information about most of our products on the packaging themselves, a full list of nutritional information for all standard menu items can be found on the reverse of trayliners in restaurants and for all menu items including promotional items in the ‘Food’ section at www.mcdonalds.co.uk. If you are ever in any doubt about the nutritional content of McDonald’s products then please ask a member of staff for assistance. And as you know this website is here for people to ask questions about McDonald’s and our products. (March 2011)

4. in our course work we have to talk about different menus and i would like to kown will mc donalds menu change to more healthy in the next few years, or jsut more different healthy options
Thank you for your question. Most nutritionists would advise you that there is no such thing as a 'healthy' or 'unhealthy' food item - instead there are only unbalanced, 'unhealthy' lifestyles. The McDonald's menu is constantly evolving in line with customers' requirements. As a result, greater choice has been added with the inclusion of Toasted Deli Sandwiches which are available in a variety of chicken based sandwiches and Salads such as the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad.

5. why is the food so unhealthy. I like the food but its making me fatter than I already am!!! Why cant you make your food low carb.
McDonald's doesn't have any plans to lower carbs, but the aim is to have a wide range of choice on the menu, all of which can fit into a balanced diet.
