Double cheeseburger (McDonalds) calories: 465 per 1 burger (165 g)
This exact USDA record reports 465 calories for 1 burger (165 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 465 calories for 1 burger at 165 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 282 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 26.7 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 1,018 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast foods, cheeseburger; double, regular patty; with condiments, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 burger at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706914: “Double cheeseburger (McDonalds).” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706914, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 123.8 g | 349 kcal | 20 g | 1.1 g | 764 mg |
| 1 double cheeseburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 165 g | 465 kcal | 26.7 g | 1.5 g | 1,018 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 206.3 g | 582 kcal | 33.4 g | 1.9 g | 1,273 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706914’s 165 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
Iron4 mg
≈ 22% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Calcium248 mg
≈ 19% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Double cheeseburger (McDonalds),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706913 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 165 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 123.8–206.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 349 kcal and 582 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706913
At an equal 100 g, this record has 115 mg more sodium than “Double cheeseburger (Burger King).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Fast foods, cheeseburger; double, regular patty; with condiments
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when the exact wording “Double cheeseburger (McDonalds)” fits. Inspect FDC 2706913 when the exact wording “Double cheeseburger (Burger King)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Double cheeseburger (McDonalds),” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
sauces and cheese
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706914 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 282 kcal per 100 g becomes 465 kcal at 165 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 burger has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706914
FNDDS food code: 27510387
The scaling for FDC 2706914 can be exact while the match to “Double cheeseburger (McDonalds)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 165 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
