I don't know what ketchup they use at Macdonald's, but if you look at Heinz, ketchup is actually quite OK

I had one once. It exposed how shitty their beef tastes.

Shit, you mean eating a salad isn't always healthy? Damn, there goes my diet plans to have a salad with marshmallows topped with chocolate and caramel dressing. I thought I found a loophole!

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THERE WAS A DOUBLE BIG MAC

There isn't, people are lying.
It's been on the menu for a few years now (disregard the McKinley part, Obama fixed that last year).

no double McChicken though, sadly

American McDonald's sold double Big Macs in the 90s, along with double quarter pounders. They stopped putting it on the menu but I've never had them tell me "no" when I order one. Or a triple Quarter Pounder though one time a girl had to call her manager to ring it up and then they both sat there confused as if I had ordered fried rice. Eventually got the sandwich but it was a funny moment.

I think I'm one of the few people who likes the filet o fish but that seems like too much fish on a sandwich.

It's perfect as a single patty, tbh. Adding another just makes it too greasy/slimy.

You can turn any healthy food into a cheat meal, americans are pro's at it.
Milk-Put some cocoa and 150 grams of sugar into a glass of it
Chicken-Deep fry it
Fish-Deep fry it
Fruit-Drink fruit drinks that have hundreds of grams of sugar in them without any of the fiber from the solid part of the fruit
Salad-Drench in ranch, add bacon and fried chicken to it, wash it down with a diet coke

Yeah, that's what I'd assume. You'd be better off getting two sandwiches.

so its just a double quarter pounder?

Article picked the high end of the calorie count for that salad by opting for the breaded, deep-fried protein and the fattiest dressing combo.
This is as low as you can go on that salad
Not great still but significantly less horrifying than what they built with that calculator.
Fast food salads are generally shit and overpriced, so yeah the takeaway here is to either make your own or buy your lunch salads elsewhere while minding the nutritional impact of how the protein is processed and the components/quantity of the dressing.

What's that? You want a quadruple big mac?
I want it but at the same time my mouth wants to throw up a bit.

So weird that this is still focusing on the fat content, when that's hardly the problem here. The total calories, sodium, and carbs are much more of an issue. A salad should be pretty close to carb free, so it's pretty disheartening seeing this salad have more cards than a burger with three buns and secret sauce. I have to assume that a version without fried chicken or croutons starts to look at lot healthier.
FWIW, McDonalds menu varies even within the US.

No surprise, lots of people will get salads because they're healthy and then drown them in dressings. Lettuce floating in ranch.
The worst thing these restaurants do is trick people into thinking certain items are healthy, so eat as much as you want.

It's almost impossible to get a McRib in New England if you don't live in Boston.

It's not a salad. It's fried chicken with some sweaty salad leaves.
Good poison is also called medicine.
Well if it didn't feel like biting down into a heart attack, I wouldn't. Nothing worth than trying to digest a big amount of greasy beef in one gulp.
2x regular Quarter Pounders all the way.
