Total Fat
As mentioned above, a significant portion of the total calories is due to the amount of fat in one sandwich. Specifically, there are 31 grams of fat, including 16 grams of saturated fat.
Please take a look at the nutrition facts label below. I sourced the data directly from Shake Shack. As you may notice, the amount of saturated fat in one serving of this vegetarian sandwich is equal to 80% daily value recommended by the FDA (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).
I would normally describe that as a mind boggling amount of dietary fat in one menu item, but I’m trying to remain impartial and just state the facts. So instead I’ll say that amount of saturated fat is significant.
