Calories and Nutrition Facts


Let’s start with an review of the calories in this hamburger.

Calories in Hamburger

There are 840 Calories in a Five Guys Hamburger. More than half of the total calories are derived from fat. Carbohydrates and protein each contribute about 22% of the total calories.

Cholesterol

The cholesterol and sodium content in one serving is high, in my opinion. There are 125 milligrams of cholesterol, which is equal to about 40% of the daily value.

Sodium

One serving also contains 430 milligrams of sodium. It’s not as high as some of the other fast food hamburgers we have reviewed, but it’s still approximately 19% of the daily value recommended by the FDA.

Don’t you think that’s fairly significant considering all that sodium is from a single menu item?
