How to order

Order tips

· Pick the plain Hamburger or BBQ Sandwich and skip cheese/bacon to save 200-500 mg sodium.
· Swap fries for a Side Salad (10 mg Na), Applesauce (0 mg), or Banana (0 mg).
· At breakfast, choose the Sausage Burrito or Biscuit Sandwich over bacon/ham options.
· Blizzards and shakes are treats, not meals — a Mini Blizzard starts around 150 mg Na.
· Avoid country gravy, chili, and Flamethrower/Signature Stackburgers if watching sodium.
