Five Guys lovers beware! McDonalds haters beware too! I would describe myself as a huge Five Guys fan, especially when pregnant (I could have a fresh hamburger in each hand at all times and be legitimately craving more). But I just made a shocking discovery, one that despite my husband's attempts to keep me quiet, I feel that I must share. This is simple data I found online, that anyone could find online simply by googling the nutrition chart of any of your favorite restaurants.
Five Guys Little Hamburger= 26 grams of fat, 490 calories
Large Fries= 71, that's SEVENTY ONE, grams of fat, 454 calories
McDonalds (which I have termed as 'non-nutritive substances')
Hamburger= 9 grams of fat, 250 calories
Large Fries= 25 grams of fat, 500 calories
I cannot believe that next time I am craving Five Guys, which will probably be at 4 in the morning, I will have to then decide, do I make a wiser caloric choice and go with McDonalds???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing as I am on my second burger of the day, from Five Guys, I am going to go cry now.

lis! so informative!! who would have guessed?? but you gotta do what keeps that baby happy!! p.s.-71 grams of fat? really? that's almost unbelievable!
I was happy to learn that McDonalds egg McMuffin sandwich is one of the most balanced/ low calorie options out there.
I wish I could be around your pregnant self!
wow. thats gross. i just ate it two days ago. and i think i gained weight just reading it. BUT i think i know the reason....they give sooo much more in their fries than mcdonalds. you know how they dump some in the bag? maybe there is just more potatoes to ate!
