Staying in a calorie deficit does not mean you have to skip out on juicy griddled cheeseburgers. With a few simple swaps you can easily enjoy a satisfying fast casual lunch under 450 calories that keeps your energy stable throughout the day.

The Single Hamburger Lettuce Wrap (250 Cal)

By ordering a single griddled hamburger wrapped in fresh green lettuce instead of a standard potato bun you immediately save 120 calories and 24g of carbs. The result is a savory, juicy 250-calorie protein pack using a Single Hamburger lettuce wrap that keeps sodium under 500mg.

Unsweetened Iced Tea & Soda Swaps

A large Shack made Lemonade contains an astronomical 300 calories which is almost as much as a single burger! Swap sugary sodas and lemonades for our Organic Brewed Iced Tea (0 Cal) or a light fountain soda to instantly save calories for other delicious sides.
