How to order
Order tips
- · Order the Whataburger Jr. (750 mg) or Justaburger (740 mg) instead of the full-size #1 (1220 mg).
- · Small fries are only 170 mg as served — a rare low-sodium fry.
- · Grilled chicken salad (770 mg) beats any favorites sandwich by 1000+ mg.
- · Swap ranch (500 mg/cup) for salsa verde (85 mg/cup) on salads and taquitos.
- · Every slice of cheese adds 220-430 mg — order burgers without cheese to cut sodium fast.
