Unless otherwise noted, the nutrition facts in this guide are based on a single serving of the meal, which includes one Impossible® plant-based cheeseburger with french fries.

Reference to the percentage daily value illustrates how much a specific nutrient in the meal contributes to a daily diet. The U.S. FDA uses 2,000 calories as a standard measure for general adult nutrition guidance. However, individual needs vary and your daily value may be higher or lower.

Calories

Each serving of the burger and fries has 1,090 calories, which is the same as the Classic Burger dish.

Here is a breakout of the total calories by macronutrient per meal:

Nearly half of the total calories are derived from dietary fats. Carbohydrates contribute approximately 37% of the total calories and the remaining 14% is from protein.

The summary of calories by macronutrient above is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts provided by Applebee’s. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how the plant-based cheeseburger is prepared, or due to additional topping choices and dipping sauces such as ketchup.

Dietary Fat

The meat-free Impossible Cheeseburger with a side of fries contains 59 grams of total fat, including 20 grams of saturated fat. That is considered high.

Saturated Fat

The amount of saturated fat in one order of the cheeseburger and french fries delivers 180 calories. That’s 100% of the recommended limit for an entire day (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Dietary Guidelines for Americans (published by the US Department of Health and Human Services) recommend limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories.

Sodium
