Right, and that's a lot less than a meal in a sit-down place. For example, two days ago here's my lunch from Black Bear Diner: French Fries: 790kcal Parm Sourdough Burger: 1010kcal Soda: 280kcal (same stuff everywhere. Personally I got an Iced Tea which is 0cal at both places) That's 1800kcal for the meal, almost 50% more calories at the sit-down diner. Red Robin? Same, unless you take advantage of the limitless fries in which case the calories are endless ... Nearly any sit-down restaurant will have a burger meal that is substantially worse for you than McDonald's, nutrition-wise. They're bigger and have more fat and sugar, generally speaking. The ingredients in a burger meal is generally the same, but McDonald's has far healthier portions.
