The Big Mac® Combo Meal is the most iconic combo at McDonald’s — and arguably the most recognized fast-food meal in the world. For $9.29, you get the legendary Big Mac sandwich, a Medium order of World Famous Fries®, and a Medium Coca-Cola®. At 1,170 calories, it’s a substantial meal — but that number includes ~410 calories from the drink alone. Switch to Diet Coke or water and the total drops to around 760 Cal.
The Big Mac was created in 1968 by Jim Delligatti, a McDonald’s franchise owner in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. It became a national menu item in 1968 and has been on the menu continuously for over 55 years. The sandwich features two 1.6-ounce 100% USDA-inspected beef patties — no fillers, no extenders — layered with Big Mac® Special Sauce, shredded lettuce, American cheese, pickle slices, and diced onions on a signature three-part sesame seed bun (club-style). McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) sells roughly 2.5 billion Big Macs per year globally.
