Understanding Five Guys Nutrition Facts
Five Guys is famous for its customizable burgers, generous portions of fresh-cut fries, and delicious milkshakes. While the food is undeniably tasty, it's important to understand the nutritional impact of your choices. Our Five Guys calorie calculator helps you make informed decisions by providing accurate nutritional information for your custom orders.
How Five Guys Calories Are Calculated
We calculate Five Guys nutrition using the company's published nutritional information. Each component (burger patties, bun, toppings, fries) has a base calorie count, and we account for different portion sizes and combinations based on your selections.
For example, a standard Cheeseburger with all free toppings contains approximately:
- Two beef patties: 840 calories
- Two slices of cheese: 140 calories
- Bun: 260 calories
- Mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.: 100 calories
- Total: 1,340 calories
If you add a Regular Fries and a Bacon Milkshake, your meal total becomes:
- Cheeseburger: 1,340 calories
- Regular Fries: 530 calories
- Bacon Milkshake: 780 calories
- Total: 2,650 calories
Making Healthier Five Guys Choices
You can significantly reduce calories in your Five Guys order with these strategies:
- Choose a Little Hamburger: Single patty saves 420 calories vs. regular hamburger
- Skip the cheese: Each slice adds 70 calories
- Go bun-less or lettuce wrap: The bun adds 260 calories
- Load up on free veggies: Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc. add flavor without significant calories
- Share fries: A Little Fries has 530 calories vs. 1,310 for Large
- Choose water or diet soda: Regular soda adds 200-300 calories
Remember that Five Guys portions are famously generous, especially with fries. A "Regular" fries is enough for 2-3 people, and their burgers are substantial. Using our calculator helps you plan your meal within your daily nutritional goals.
