Bacon Burger is High in Fat

One serving of Five Guys beef burger with bacon contains 50 grams of total fat, including 22.5 grams of saturated fat. That is high.

For reference, the U.S. FDA states that a nutrient which has a 20% daily value is considered high (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

The amount of total fat in this burger far exceeds that threshold with a 64% daily value.

How to Calculate Daily Value of Fat

To calculate %DV, divide the amount of a nutrient in one serving of food by the FDA-recommended daily limit. An example is shown below.

One serving of Five Guy’s bacon burger contains 22.5g saturated fat. Divide 22.5g by the 20g daily limit. The result is 113%. That means one burger contains more saturated fat than the recommended limit for an entire day.
