The Quarter Pounder® with Cheese Deluxe Meal is the premium-dressed version of McDonald’s signature fresh-beef burger. For $12.49, you get the QPC Deluxe sandwich, Medium World Famous Fries®, and a Medium Coca-Cola®. The “Deluxe” upgrade adds three components not found on the regular Quarter Pounder: Roma tomato slices, shredded lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise — transforming a straightforward burger into something closer to a loaded diner-style cheeseburger.
At 1,220 calories, the Deluxe Meal matches the Bacon QPC Meal in total calories — but the source is different. The Bacon QPC gets its extra calories from Applewood bacon (more protein), while the Deluxe gets them from mayonnaise (more fat). The Deluxe also introduces an egg allergen via the mayo — a critical difference from the regular QPC and Bacon QPC, which are both egg-free.
