McDonald's vs Wendy's: Macros Compared (2026)

Quick Answer: McDonald's current product pages list the standard Double Hamburger at 340 calories and 21g protein and the standard Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese at 740 calories. Wendy's current Nutrition & Health guide is linked for current menu details; this article does not retain Wendy's numeric tuples that could not be reproducibly bound during this maintenance pass.

Source labels matter. McDonald's values below come from product pages for the Double Hamburger and Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Use Wendy's current Nutrition & Health guide for its menu details. Exact custom nutrition is not inferred.

How to Read the Comparison

The McDonald's figures are standard-product references. They do not establish nutrition for custom removals, and the absence of a reproducibly bound Wendy's tuple prevents a direct numeric conclusion here.

Bottom Line

Use the linked McDonald's and Wendy's guides to inspect each record's source label. Restaurant-published standard nutrition and MacroMate custom-build snapshots should not be presented as interchangeable.
