Compared with the XL and the Whopper
Price, kcal and protein
| Burger | Typical price | Kcal | Protein | Per 10 g protein |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacon Double Cheeseburger | £6.89 | 440 | 30 g | £2.30 |
| Bacon Double Cheese XL | £9.79 | 910 | 63 g | £1.55 |
| Whopper | £7.99 | 595 | 29 g | £2.76 |

Among the beef burgers with published nutrition, this one ranks 5 of 10 for protein per pound. It costs £1.10 less than a Whopper and has 155 fewer kcal, mainly because it has no mayo. The XL adds a lot more meat and cheese for £2.90 extra.
What is in it
Two flame-grilled beef patties, two slices of American cheese and smoked bacon in a sesame bun, with the classic cheeseburger sauces — no salad. It is a compact cheeseburger: if you want lettuce and tomato, the Whopper is the closer match; if you want more of everything, the XL. A single-patty cheeseburger is only on delivery menus inside the Kids Cheeseburger Meal (£5.49), so for adults this double is the entry-level cheeseburger.
Meal and bundle for two
The meal adds regular fries and a regular drink for £2.80, making it the cheapest burger meal on the menu. For two people, the bundle at £14.99 compares with two meals at £19.38.
