However, you might be surprised to know that there are actually quite a few low calorie menu options at McDonald's. I mean, in this list alone, I've compiled 15 of them, and there are options for every meal of the day - even dessert!

Now, just so you know, I do list the total calories for each item below, but if you want a full nutritional breakdown, you can find all these menu items - along with everything else on the McDonald's menu - on the McDonald's nutrition calculator. It's what I used to make this guide.

Also, just so you know, I've already put together a super comprehensive guide on the best low carb McDonald's orders. That list feature over 19 low carb orders. So, if you're following a low carb diet - like the keto diet - you'll definitely want to give that list a look.
