President Donald Trump has a giant appetite for McDonald's.

One of Trump's favorite dinner orders at McDonald's packs nearly 2,500 calories — more than a day's worth of food for a man his age — according to a new book by two of his former campaign aides, Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie.

Trump's order at McDonald's consists of "two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted," the book says, according to The Washington Post.

A Big Mac has three pieces of bread, two meat patties, cheese, and "special sauce." Each burger has 540 calories and 28 grams of fat.

The Filet-O-Fish sandwiches, which feature fried fish fillets, cheese, and tartar sauce, add another 820 calories and 40 grams of fat.

McDonald's doesn't have a "malted" shake, so Trump's order is most likely a chocolate shake, which has 530 calories and 15 grams of fat.

Trump is also a fan of McDonald's breakfast — he reportedly had Keith Schiller, his bodyguard and confidant, go to McDonald's in the mornings during his campaign to grab him Egg McMuffins.
