First Blog Post - Whataburger

As my first blog post I will be posting up what I had consumed for lunch today and that would be a burger from Whataburger.  The reason for posting up my lunch and what I had consumed is to remind myself what I ate and what could be a healthier alternative for me.  I would say that I am not the healthiest eater therefore in order for me to eat healthier, I should keep track of what I eat and try to change it.  So that will be the importance of my blog and the theme for it.  So today, I will be listing the nutritional information for my burger that I had from Whataburger.


 Whataburger:
   Weight: 323g
   Calories: 620
   Calories from fat: 270g
   Total fat: 30g
   Saturated fat: 10g
   Trans fat: 0g
   Cholesterol: 65g
   Sodium: 1262g
   Carbohydrates:  58g
   Dietary Fiber: 2g
   Protein: 26g
   Sugars: 13g

Small fries:
   Weight: 84g
   Calories: 320
   Calories from fat: 160g
   Total fat: 18g
   Saturated fat: 3g
   Trans fat: 0g
   Cholesterol: 0g
   Sodium: 231g
   Carbohydrates: 36g
   Dietary Fiber: 5g
   Protein: 3g
   Sugars: 1g

A healthier alternative instead of a whataburger and small fries would be a whatachick'n sandwich which is 550 in calories and a garden salad which is 50 calories.  That is 270 calories less than an order of small fries and this is a healthier alternative if I were to count calories.  Some people rather count total fat or some other
else on the nutrient list.
