If nuggets are more your thing, you could cut down on your calories by a considerate amount.

If you select six chicken nuggets, this will be 259kcal, with fries being 444kcal for a large or 337kcal for a medium.

Fanta lovers will consume less calories than Coke lovers, as it is 95kcal for a large or 76kcal for a medium.

McChicken sandwich, large fries and a strawberry milkshake – 1,290kcal

If you are tucking into a large McChicken sandwich meal with a milkshake, you could be looking at over half your daily calories.

McChicken sandwiches are 388kcal, with strawberry milkshakes being 458kcal for a large, or 356kcal for a medium, plus the fries on top.

A medium McChicken sandwich meal will take it down to 1,081kcal.

Double cheeseburger, large fries, Coke Zero and sweet and sour dip – 933kcal

Another classic is a double cheeseburger, and this has 445kcals.

Add large fries (444kcal), and sweet and sour dip (44cal) and you are still below 1,000 calories.

McPlant burger, large fries, water and tangy tomato dip

The new McPlant Burger, which is certified by the Vegan Society, is 420kcals – around the same as a double cheeseburger.

Adopting a similar meal deal, with large fries (444kcals) and a tangy tomato dip (41kcals), a vegan alternative proves to be just as healthy.

What are the best McDonald’s menu picks if on a diet?

McDonald’s is so often demonised as “junk food” that will sabotage a diet.

But, contrary to common belief, the fast-food favourite doesn’t need to be binned off while watching your weight.

One of Britain’s top nutritionists Graeme Tomlinson said: “Be sure to know that being overweight is not because of calorie dense fast food, but one’s management of it.”

In fact, Adele has revealed she still eats McDonald’s once a week despite her incredible weight loss transformation and shedding more than 100lbs.

Here are some of the McDonald’s offerings that you can tuck into without worrying about the numbers.

Garlic mayo chicken wrap, fruit and water – 390kcal

Choose from a number of snack and drink options to still be well under 500 calories

Chicken nuggets, side salad, water – 298kcal
