Here's How Many Calories Are in Donald Trump's Outrageous McDonald's Dinner Order
People ^ | 12/5/2017 | Ana Calderone

What he order? Fish filet… and a whole lot else.

President Donald Trump‘s undying love for fast food made its way back into headlines this week when his ex-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and another ex-top aide David Bossie released their new book, Let Trump Be Trump, revealing the president’s McDonald’s dinner order while on the campaign trail.

The Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the book, reported that he once ordered “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.” As our sister publication Extra Crispy points out, the fast food chain does not offer a “chocolate malted”—but if you assume he was referring to the restaurant’s chocolate milkshake, the president’s meal would clock in at 2,530 calories with 114g fat and 3530mg sodium.

Here’s the nutritional breakdown according to McDonald’s website:

2 Big Macs 1080 calories 56g fat 92g carbs 50g protein 1900mg sodium

2 Filet-O-Fish 820 calories 40g fat 78g carbs 36g protein 1320mg sodium

Medium McCafé Chocolate Shake 630 calories 18g fat 81g carbs 14g protein 310mg sodium

If it was that big of a deal McDonald’s would have been talking about it 5 minutes after he left the place.

And what’s with the ebonics? “What he order?”

“He order a Big Mac, main.”

I highly doubt one person consumed all that at a single meal.

It's not all that much. The Filet-O-Fish appears pretty small these days, and they don't even provide a full square of cheese. The Big Mac is two 1.6 ounce patties of beef (before cooking). Two equals 6.4 ounces of beef before cooking.

A typical meal at a "fast casual" restaurant often consists of a half-pound burger with thicker cheese (ditto the Wendy's Double), more fries, and a side dish that could be a vegetable or a bowl of soup. Throw in an appetizer, and the meals are about the same size.

Not only does he eat like an ordinary American, but the Big Mac & Filet-O-Fish is on the “Two Fer” menu - he can get both of them for $5.00 which saves several dollars off the regular price buying them separately. :-)

Contrast with Obama’s Wagyu beef .... $100 or more per serving ($226 per pound, based on $50/100g).

IT’s AWFULLY unhealthy!!!

And I need to chill, in retrospect. Dying slowly after a stroke or heart attack is not FUN.

I just love the taste. And it’s a shame growing up on great healthy Italian food. I moved out and that was all she wrote.

I've figured my average salt intake per day is about 6 tablespoons, approximately 307.13 grams. That comes out to 122.85 grams (122,850 milligrams) of sodium daily.

My blood pressure consistently tests out at 107/58.

Food without salt tastes like cardboard ...

I also note the People never reported on Obama smoking like a chimney.

They bullied him into quitting. I think he should have told them to screw off, but he is a weak person.

Perhaps he gets tired of eating gourmet meals all the time. Regardless what he eats he seems to be in very good shape.

I find it amusing that they are expressing horror over what he consumes food wise, as if they care about his health. In fact I'm sure they are delighted that he eats high choleric content and hopes that will doom him sooner rather than later.

Maybe cause that’s what New Yorkers call a shake. After all, if you’re not from New Your, you’re just stupid and need to learn our ways.

I remember watching some TV show set in Detroit. One of the characters said he was going out for a slice.

I’m from Detroit. It’s a piece of pizza, not a slice. Morons. I actually yelled that at the TV.

Absolutely! We have idiotic puritans here who diss Mickey D’s. While I don’t think the food is as good as in the 1970s, I still enjoy one of their emblematic burgers and fries. The President eats like a real man - not some limp-wristed queen.

I remember that photo on a campaign stop. I doubt he routinely eats this stuff.

two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.”

Diamond Jim would have called that a small appetizer.

Much Ado about nothing. More Two Scoops disingenuous media hysteria fainting couch Bs.

Only mildly humorous.

I hope also had some chocolate milk. That is one of the dreaded foods that LIBs have strokes over. MAGA! These always-angry LIB lunatics are getting VERY tiresome.

In other news, President Trump had two scoops of ice cream. It's time for impeachment.

I cannot imagine why the term #FakeNews took off. CNN, Time Magazine, the Washington Post, Buzz Feed, and the rest are reporting on the key issues - what President Trump eats and why that's a catastrophe. "All the news that fits the narrative" and "We report, we decide" and "The most trusted name in #FakeNews".

Individuals taste vary greatly among the masses. Thus some detest
what others will enjoy or tolerate. Millions of people eat McDs
or else they would be out of business. Like you I’m not a fan of
their food but do enjoy a coffee once in a while.

If there ever was a reason to impeach Trump, this is it!
