About McDONALD'S, Strawberry Sundae
The Strawberry Sundae is McDonald's soft-serve dessert finished with a sweet strawberry topping. Because the vanilla soft-serve is made with low-fat dairy rather than premium ice cream, it is one of the lighter items on the dessert menu, with most of its calories coming from the sugar in the topping and the milk.
Per 100 grams it provides about 158 calories, with roughly 4 grams of fat, around 3.2 grams of protein, and 28 grams of carbohydrate, of which about 25 grams are sugar. The dairy base gives it a useful amount of calcium — about 110 milligrams per 100 grams — along with some potassium. A full sundae weighs around 178 grams, which comes to roughly 280 calories and close to 45 grams of sugar.
As fast-food desserts go this is one of the more moderate choices, since the low-fat soft-serve keeps the fat down and the dairy adds real calcium and protein. The sugar is the number to watch — a whole sundae is around a day's worth of added sugar — but as an occasional treat it is lighter than a shake or a caramel or hot-fudge sundae.
