Three complete McDonald's meals under 600 calories

Under 600, the most-protein meal is built on the McCrispy Strips (4) (530 cal), which leaves 70 calories for its sides and drink. One meal-sized entrée, up to two different sides and a drink — the MinMax app's meal and the best under the cap, drink included (water only where no published drink fits; the lightest meal takes a zero-calorie drink, or water). The lightest meal is unchanged from under 500; the others use the extra 100 calories.
