The Healthiest Burgers at Fast Food Chains Across Texas
If one of your "New Year's Resolutions" is to lose weight but you're still having trouble getting out of the drive thru lane, this list might be helpful.
After my doctor told me to make some immediate lifestyle changes or risk my health getting worse, I immediately began working on a new diet. I began "juicing" daily, quit drinking super sugary soft drinks, and paid closer attention to the ingredients in the food I was eating.
But with a career that keeps me on the move all the time, its still been a struggle to eliminate fast food all together even though I've gotten better and have chosen better, healthier options that have lead to some weight loss on my part.
Is There Even Such A Thing As A "Healthy" Fast Food Burger?
Remember the "meatless burger" craze? What happened with that? Anyway, its kind of hard to say that there's such a thing as a "healthy" fast food burger because burgers come in so many different varieties and topping options.
So the good folks over at Delish did the research and revealed "The healthiest fast food burger in America Right now" and if you're trying to find it, you won't have to look to far because you can find them all across Texas.
Let's take a look at the Top 5 options.
5. Whataburger Jr.
"The Texas Treasure" has one of the healthiest burgers in America, its smaller version of its classic "Whataburger". With 310 calories and 36 grams of carbs and 3 grams of saturated fat.
4. IN-N-Out Burger
The Californians brought their In-N-Out burgers with them from the West Coast and they have a healthy option for your diet. The classic hamburger has 16 grams of protein, just 360 calories, 37 grams of carbs, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and 660 mg of sodium.
#3 - McDonald's
Mickey D's classic burger has 13 grams of protein, 250 calories, 30 carbs, just 3.5 grams of saturated fat, and 510 mg of sodium. Remember to keep the CHEESE off it or you're missing the whole point.
#2 - Burger King
Just like the "Whataburger Jr.", the "Whopper Jr." comes with slightly more protein than Micky D's (15.2 grams), 310 calories, 27 grams of carbs, and 5 grams of saturated fat. It also has the lowest sodium content on the list at 390 mg.
1. Wendy's
Shockingly, the home of "The Baconator" has the healthiest burger in America right now. The "Wendy's Jr. Hamburger" just barely beat out Whopper Jr. with 280 calories, 4 grams of saturated fat and 440 mg of sodium with 15 grams of protein and just 25 grams of carbs.
