McDonald's is debuting a new deal that packs in a ton of food - and more than 1,000 calories - for $6. Here's how the options measure up.
There are four classic entrées that customers can pick from for their meal, each served with a small fry, a soda or sweet tea of any size, and an apple or seasonal pie.
If you're looking to save, the McNuggets are the best option. In addition to being my personal favorite entrée, you save $4.77 with the new deal.
Pre-deal cost: $10.77
Calories: 910 (assuming a zero-calorie drink)
If you're simply trying to get the most calories possible for $6, get the Big Mac deal, which comes in at 1,010 calories for the burger, fries, and apple pie.
Pre-deal cost: $10.47
Calories: 1,010
The Quarter Pounder with cheese also reaches the 1,000-calorie mark.
Pre-deal cost: $10.27
Calories: 1,000
Even the Filet-O-Fish option allows customers to save more than $4.
Pre-deal cost: $10.27
Calories: 860
McDonald's is launching the $6 Meal Deal to compete with bundled deals at rivals like KFC and Wendy's. With some of customers' favorite menu items and significant savings, the deal is exactly what many budget shoppers are seeking (even if it may not appeal to more health-conscious diners).
