How many calories should you eat each day?<\/h2>\n

The average Australian adult should consume 2,000 calories per day according to the latest government health advice. One Big Mac is therefore more than a quarter of the average Australian\u2019s recommended daily calorie intake. One Double Big Mac is more than a third of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s without any add-ons like fries or dessert. Large fries have 366 calories and a popular dessert like a Hot Fudge Sundae has 542. So you can see how the calories can add up, especially when you add in your other meals and snacks throughout the day!<\/p>\n

The recommended daily calorie intake can be influenced by factors such as how active you are and how much muscle you have. For example, if you\u2019re more active, you\u2019ll be able to consume more calories without putting on weight (and vice versa).<\/p>\n

The bottom line<\/h3>\n

If you enjoy a Big Mac (or any other McDonald\u2019s or other fast-food restaurant burgers) and you want to lose or maintain weight, be smart about it. Understand how many calories you\u2019re eating, and take steps to burn as many (or more) calories as you consume. A simple way to do this is by upping your exercise. Now you know how many calories in a Big Mac lets us find out how many calories in a steak<\/a>. <\/span>and how many calories in a bottle of red wine<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
