- McDonald's rolls out new 'protein' menu badges, and social media users question the numbers
McDonald's has introduced new 'protein callouts' on 17 menu items to highlight protein content, including the Egg McMuffin (17g) and 10-piece Chicken McNuggets (23g). Social media users have questioned the accuracy of listed protein totals, particularly for items like the double cheeseburger. The move aligns with growing demand for high-protein options, as seen in competitors like Shake Shack.
