How to order

Order tips

  • · Order Protein Style first — official −280 mg vs the same burger with a bun (PDF pair).
  • · Hold cheese: Cheeseburger − Hamburger = 410 mg Na per slice (official pair). Just order a Hamburger.
  • · Mustard & ketchup instead of spread: official −60 mg on Hamburger (670→610).
  • · Ask no salt on the patty / fries only after Protein Style + hold cheese — those first two are published.
  • · Fries are already 150 mg official; Animal Style piles sodium back on.

Avoid / high sodium

Animal Style everything · Double-Double with cheese + bun when Protein Style exists · 3×3 / 4×4 cheese stacks
