Quarter Pounder vs Big Mac
Both are popular Macca’s burgers, but they’re built quite differently:
| Quarter Pounder | Big Mac | |
|---|---|---|
| Beef patty | One (113g) | Two (approx. 45g each) |
| Sauce | Mustard & ketchup | Special sauce |
| Cheese | Yes | Yes |
| Lettuce | No | Yes |
| Tomato | No | No |
| Bun | Sesame seed (2-part) | Sesame seed (3-part) |
| Kilojoules (approx.) | ~2,200 kJ | ~2,060 kJ |
| Price guidance | Around $8.75 | Around $8.60 |
The Quarter Pounder and the Big Mac are usually priced within a few cents of each other. Its single larger patty has a different texture to the two thinner patties in the Big Mac.
Double Quarter Pounder
The Double Quarter Pounder adds a second 113g beef patty with the same build. It’s one of the larger options on the Macca’s menu. Price is around $10.75 for the burger alone, or around $15.90 as a medium meal, depending on the restaurant.
Kilojoules
- Quarter Pounder — around 2,200 kJ
- Double Quarter Pounder — around 3,050 kJ
These are burger-only figures. A Quarter Pounder Meal with medium fries and a medium soft drink adds roughly another 2,000 kJ on top. Full kilojoule counts are on the in-restaurant menu board.
