Smart Ordering Strategies
1. Go Protein Style
The single biggest calorie saver at In-N-Out:
- Saves: 160 calories per burger
- Saves: 29g carbs per burger
- Keeps: Nearly all the protein
- Bonus: Keto and low-carb friendly
2. Choose Mustard & Ketchup Over Spread
- Saves: 60 calories per burger
- Same: Protein content
- Trade-off: Different flavor profile
3. Skip or Share the Fries
- French Fries: 360 calories
- Alternative: Share with someone (180 cal each)
- Better: Skip entirely for biggest calorie savings
4. Choose Zero-Calorie Drinks
| Instead of... | Choose... | Calories Saved |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Shake (610) | Diet Coke | 610 |
| Coca-Cola 22oz (270) | Unsweetened Tea | 270 |

Shakes are essentially dessert:

A shake adds more calories than most burgers!
