3. In-n-Out’s “Protein-Style” Hamburger
The restaurant chain’s really healthy version of a hamburger is packed with lettuce leaves in place of a traditional hamburger bun, which automatically cuts down on carbs.
“I love the option to use a lettuce wrap whenever I can find it, as it cuts down on refined, processed grains and automatically cuts down on overall calories,” says Amanda Baker Lemein, MS, RD, LDN. “Plus, you may actually like the extra crunch from the lettuce.”
4. Sonic’s Breakfast Burrito (Without the Tortilla)
Hayley Cimring, a registered dietician who currently writes and reviews articles for Fitness Savvy is actually a fan of Sonic’s breakfast burritos as a low-carb choice, so long as you get rid of the tortilla. “Just make sure they don’t add tater tots or hash browns to them,” she says. “Some have them, some don’t.” For lunch, Cimring suggests any one of Sonic’s 15 hamburgers, sans the bun.
