"It's a big service size, but you do not have to worry about the amount of sodium consumption and cholesterol than other comparable hamburgers."

"However, I also like the fact that I can [cut carbohydratesAnd] order this "green style" that eliminates the bun and replaces it with fresh lettuce. Although nutritional facts are not available with a green style, I guess it easily reduce calories and sodium, making it a 300 calorie hamburger with 500 mg (or less) sodium. "
9. Sonic Junior Burger
"This hamburger has 15 g protein and you can ask for extra vegetables!" said Castillo.
10. Castle White original cursor

12. Wendy's Jr. Hamburger

13. Five hamburger guys (half-bread, lettuce, tomato, grilled mushrooms, jalapeño, no condiments)
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.

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. "
