For the number of calories and protein in this large hamburger, it will provide "a higher level of satiety than their other Burger counterparts," says Valdez. "I chose this without having condiments, who can have hidden sodium, but replaced it with other flavors like a fungus that can be meat, Jalapeños for a small spice, and a fresh taste with lettuce and Tomatoes. And I cut the bread. Only half of having carbohydrates because it is the main source of energy, but not too heavy on the total carbohydrate component - the perfect balance. "
