Once the food is gobbled and lodged inside the tummy, then it's too late to change your order.
It's important not to allow the appetite to do the ordering, rather your wise brain.
With Cheese and no Mayo it contains about 40 carbohydrate grams, less than 500 calories, almost 30 protein grams and over 3 grams of dietary fiber.
Other nutrition notes worth mentioning include it's 221 mg's of calcium, over 4 mg's of iron, almost 500 mg's of potassium and over 4 mg's of Vitamin C.
Less impressive areas include the sodium content; at almost 900 milligrams, that's a hefty amount particularly when referencing that the individual requiring a 2,000 caloric daily diet requires 2,400 milligrams of salt per day - and one teaspoon of table salt contains 2,300 mg's.

Let's talk about the fat contained in this burger. There are almost 25 total fat grams, with about 9 grams of fat are derived from saturated fat, and almost 1.5 grams of Trans fat.
While other areas of fat distribution are important in the nutritional picture, Trans and saturated at the top two which produce more of a negative impact within the body serving to clog arteries and influence the functioning of the heart.
When cheese and full-blown Mayo are added to the selection, the nutritional values skyrocket in a negative manner.
Cholesterol mg's rice to almost 80 which is quite significant. Carbohydrate grams hold steady as do protein, iron, potassium and Vitamin C content.
Cheese and mayonnaise are prepared with fatty ingredients - so the nutritional areas that become impacted negatively will be lipids, cholesterol and sodium.
