Many people believe that McDonald’s isn’t typically associated with the healthiest fare.<\/a><\/p>\n

Catherine Karnatz, a Rhode Island-based registered dietitian and owner of Nutrition Education RD, said many McDonald’s food items are high in saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugar and salt.<\/p>\n

But by ordering carefully from the menu and not making the fast food chain<\/a> a regular part of your routine, you can opt for better-for-you alternatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To make more nutritious choices when you visit at the Golden Arches, Karnatz as well as Lara Clevenger, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Edgewater, Florida, weighed in on what’s considered “OK” to order.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to McDonald’s for comment.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re looking for a low-calorie snack that provides a crunch, McDonald\u2019s apple slices are a great choice,” said Clevenger.<\/p>\n

She added that with just 15 calories and four grams of carbs, the snack can fit into most diets.<\/a><\/p>\n

McDonald’s apple slices contain only 3 grams of total sugars and can be enjoyed as a snack or side, according to the chain’s nutritional information webpage.<\/p>\n

Clevenger said this sandwich made with egg, cheese and Canadian bacon is around 310 calories with 17 grams of protein, 13 grams of fat and 30 grams of carbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THESE ARE THE WORST DRINKS FOR YOUR HEALTH, ACCORDING TO NUTRITIONISTS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“This is a much healthier choice for breakfast than, say, the Fruit and Maple Oatmeal,<\/a> which has 320 calories, but only has six grams of protein and 4.5 grams of fat with a whopping 64 grams of carbs,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re trying to watch your blood sugar or stay fuller longer, the protein and fat from the Egg McMuffin is the better option,” Clevenger said.<\/p>\n

You may not want to reach for a fried chicken sandwich<\/a> regularly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, when eaten on occasion, this is a good option, said Clevenger, if you’re concerned about getting enough protein.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“With just 470 calories, this chicken sandwich provides 26 grams of protein,” she noted.<\/p>\n

Karnatz called the McDonald’s Hamburger<\/a> a classic choice with a pretty impressive nutritional makeup, compared to the other burger options available on the menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, the operative words here are “compared to.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“With 12 grams of protein, it’s a sure bet that you’ll be feeling full and satisfied for hours while out and about,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, you don\u2019t want to make this menu item a daily part of your diet, she indicated.<\/p>\n

Everything should be in moderation.<\/p>\n

Fifty calories is the difference, by the way, between the hamburger and the cheeseburger<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both the hamburger and cheeseburger have ketchup, mustard, chopped onions and a pickle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our pickle contains an artificial preservative, so skip it if you like,” McDonald’s states on its website.<\/p>\n

“Looking for a quick caffeine fix without the sugar crash? A McCaf\u00e9 Americano at any size contains zero grams of sugar,”<\/a> said Karnatz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Remember that coffee isn’t a meal and is best paired with food,” she also said.<\/p>\n

Her suggestion for that?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “fan-favorite” Egg McMuffin. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re craving a dessert from the fast food menu, opt for McDonald\u2019s Vanilla Cone, suggested Karnatz.<\/p>\n

“This soft serve ice cream<\/a> contains five grams of protein and 15% of the daily recommended value for calcium,” she added.<\/p>\n

McDonald’s Vanilla Soft Serve Cone clocks in at 200 calories per serving. It contains 33 grams of carbs and 17 grams of sugar.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

By comparison, the Baked Apple Pie contains 230 calories, 33 grams of carbs and 13 grams of added sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cone has 180 milligrams of calcium \u2014 while the pie contains 6 milligrams.<\/p>\n
