burger king
 

i just had a double hamburger with no bun at burger king. how do i enter that into fitday?

thanks

according to fitday.com it is 43.9 carbs. just for a double patty, is that right. i hope not, i thought i was doing so good by taking it off the bun.

Did you just eat patties or something else? beef doesn't have carbs in it

Re: burger king
 

Most fast food restaurants have nutrition information on their web sites. So far, I've checked Chik-Fil-A, Burger King, McDonalds, and Wendy's and they're all good.

Here's the "component" nutrition information from BK.
http://www.burgerking.com/Food/nutr...ds/foodcomp.pdf

For FitDay, I would create a custom food and type in "Burger King Double Hamburger, No Bun" or something like that and then enter the dietary info on the link I provided.

Don't forget to count condiments which are also on the link above.

PS BK double hamburger patties are 0 carbs. :)

why is it fitday add carbs to hamburger? I dont understand theres no carbs in hamburger..
Ive had to customize and mess with a lot of foods on fitday because of things like that.

thankyou all. i was thinking that it was 0 carbs but then when i went to fitday it showed up 42. thank goodness, i thought i had ruined my day.

i will go to that website and get my info.

I've had a couple of big bacon classics from Wendy's this week with mayo, lettuce and tomato w/out the bun. I listed it in Fitday by under beef (ground) small pattie. Thats what it is right? Then I lsted the lettuce and tomato and bacon separately also. The beef came out to be no carbs. Maybe it was me who didn't do it right?

When you choose a food in Fitday, if you look to the right of the page sometimes it tells you what ingredients it thinks are in it. Sometimes they add ingredients you know are not there.

For example, Scallops, cooked, NS as to cooking method actually lists breadcrumbs as an ingredient. I about died at the carb count till I realized that.

That 40g probably includes a bun, ketchup, mustard, etc...I initially put it in as 4 oz. Ground beef (weight before cooking). But, I later took the numbers for 4 oz. of ground beef and a slice of cheese...and created a custom food "1/4 Pound Cheeseburger." A quarter pounder/classic single w. cheese is punched in as 1 serving...A double quarter pounder/classic double w. cheese as 2 servings, and a classic triple w. cheese as 3 servings.

Here is the info I used to customize. It is based on:

Ground Beef, Regular, Cooked -- 4 oz. Raw, Yield after Cooking
Cheese, Natural, Cheddar or American Type -- 1 Slice (1 oz.)

but........ what if they add bread crumbs or something like that to their hamburger? That would make the carb count higher.

according to burger kin and Jack in the box
 

Both of these burger joints claim to be 100% ground beef patties.. no fillers and no substitute meat.

I go to Jack in the box about twice a week to get an ultimate cheeseburger with no bun and no ketchup.
it has mayo and mustard.. and 3 slices of cheese.. and 2 hamburger patties.

not bad. I figure around 6 carbs for the cheese.

that's wrong
 

it is counting the bread. I type in ground beef to get to the approptiate place for hamburger patty.
