Five Guys - Cheeseburger-Everything (1 burger)

Order the cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap or remove the top bun; keep the beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and jalapeños.

Skip fries and sugary drinks; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Ask for light ketchup and other sweet sauces, since condiments can add fast-absorbing carbohydrates.

Choose a smaller burger or eat half and save the rest for later to reduce the carbohydrate load at one sitting.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe for you.

If you use glucose-lowering medication or insulin, follow your clinician’s plan and monitor your response, as a burger meal can vary considerably between people.
