I can see where that situation makes it feel wrong to throw away the buns - and offering just the bread to the the beggars our front would probably be kind of insulting, too.

Do watch the nuggets, don't have the exact number on top of my head, but they are pretty high in carbs - they are breaded and might contain fillers, too. I know they've been mentioned here before.

I don't go to these places very often, but when I do, I usually get 2 or 3 of whatever burger is on sale and toss the bun - other than any kind of breaded chicken or fish filet burger, that is.
