McDonald's Double Cheeseburger Complete Information
A McDonald's Double Cheeseburger costs $4.59 and carries 440 calories with 25g of protein. Two beef patties, two slices of American cheese, ketchup, mustard, onion and pickles on a regular bun. It is the Cheeseburger with the beef doubled and the bread left alone.
The comparison worth making is against the McDouble, which sits at $4.19 with the same two patties but one slice of cheese instead of two. That single slice is the entire difference between them in build and most of the difference in price, which makes the Double Cheeseburger the order for people who want the cheese as much as the beef. At 440 calories it lands between the McDouble and the Quarter Pounder, and its 25g of protein matches a Big Mac for less money. Pair it with Small French Fries, or look at the Quarter Pounder with Cheese if you would rather have one thicker patty than two thin ones.
