EAT FIT/NOT FAT

Five Guys Burgers And Fries

WRITER: JANICE VIERA

When it comes to burger restaurants, we sure are not lacking! From drive-ins to momand-pops to big burger chains, we all have our favorites and for many that is Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Without much more than burgers, hot dogs, and fries on the menu, it is tough to find much that is nutritionally sound at most burger joints, but you can do it. Moderation is the key to healthy living, and we stress not giving up the foods you love; just watch portion size and frequency to keep your good health and weight in check.

A Five Guys regular hamburger is really a double beef patty, so go for the “Little” choice. Load up on the added veggies to provide more fiber, and they will give you that full feeling. Be aware of the fries. A serving will add an additional 310 calories and another fifteen grams of fat. Sharing an order would be wise! Peanuts in the shell are provided while you wait to be served. Be careful of the additional calories here, too.

We all have days when our food intake is not the best. Be aware of these days, and make the effort to be more active to restore the balance of your healthy lifestyle!
