Swap out the In-N-Out special sauce for ketchup and/or mustard when ordering a burger with onions. According to Jordan Hill, MCD, RD, CSSD, from Top Nutrition Coaching, “This order provides 16 g protein and only 9 g of fat compared to many other burger options providing 15 g to 35 g fat.”
If you have your heart set on an order of fries, Hill suggests sharing a small order, reducing your total fat and saturated fat intake.
As always, water is a great option for your beverage, but if you’re craving something else, Hill recommends unsweetened iced tea, which has 0 calories. The second best choice she suggests is the Lite Pink Lemonade, which comes in at five to 15 calories, depending on the size.
General healthier ordering tips at In-N-Out:
The next time you’re at In-N-Out, stay mindful of Hill’s expert tips.
- Always choose a high-protein source.
- Consider the lettuce wrap instead of a classic bun.
- Beware of the fat and saturated fat contents in your burger order.
- If you decide to splurge on fries or shakes, always choose the smallest size. In addition, consider splitting them with a loved one.
- Your beverage choice is a great area to save some calories. Choose water when you can or a smaller size of something that’s low-calorie.
- You can always bring a piece of fruit or a healthy homemade side to go with your protein.
