Big Mac or Whopper? See Whopper vs Big Mac for calories, protein, sugar and sodium side by side, and as a meal with fries and a drink.

Where these numbers come from

In the US, restaurant chains with 20 or more locations must show calories on their menus and give customers written nutrition information, including fat, sodium, carbs, sugars, fiber and protein, on request.1 So for chain food, the chain's own published numbers are the best source, and that's what these pages use. Each page links to the exact source and says when we checked it.

Those numbers are for standard US recipes. Extra sauce, cheese or a bigger portion changes them, and the same item can differ in other countries.

Logging restaurant food

NutriPixel doesn't look up restaurant menus. Photograph your meal or say or type what you ordered, and its AI estimates the calories and macros. Use these pages to check the estimate against the chain's numbers. See the AI calorie counter.
