Fast food doesn’t get more classic than McDonald’s. If this eatery is one of your go-tos, this guide can help you determine the SmartPoints values of some of its common menu items. You can also search the WW App at any time to find more McDonald’s dishes and their SmartPoints values.

Though McDonald’s began as a burger joint, its menu has now expanded to include a wide range of dishes, from breakfast items to salads.

Many breakfast items at McDonald’s come in at less than 10 SmartPoints, such as the Egg McMuffin or the Breakfast Burrito, which are just 7 SmartPoints.
