Tag: Keto friendly burgers

According to the USDA, a standard hamburger on a white bun can contain around 30 grams of carbohydrates, highlighting a surprising truth about this popular meal. So, are burgers high in carbs? The short answer is yes, but the carbs don't come from the meat patty itself—they are overwhelmingly found in the bun and various toppings.

According to nutrition tracking sites, a standard In-N-Out Double-Double Animal Style contains approximately 39 grams of total carbohydrates. The specific carb count for a double-double animal style depends on preparation, with bunless options drastically reducing the total carbohydrates.

According to nutrition data, the average fast-food hamburger bun contains between 22 and 50 grams of net carbs, a number that would immediately break ketosis for most people. This means while a traditional hamburger is a keto-buster, the core components of a hamburger are perfectly acceptable on a ketogenic diet, provided you make smart substitutions.
