Will these favorite foods embrace as part of the mission Make America Healthy Again?
The Delish food website recently highlighted some of its choices for the healthiest hamburgers options in America.
To determine the “healthiest”, Delish focused on nutritional facts, including calories, carbohydrates, fat and sodium levels, of hamburgers other than 15 different menu.
“Burger is not necessarily unhealthy,” said Laura Manaker, a South Carolina -based dietitian and nutritionist, who helped to design Delish rankings for the Fox News Digital.
“Burger can really be part of a balanced diet as they are a good source of protein and iron, which are substantive nutrients for the body. The key lies in controlling the portions and being aware of what else you are eating with it. “
In the descending order, here’s how she listed Delish Burger.
5. Whataburger Jr.
The Texas -based fast food restaurant chain, Whataburger, had the fifth healthier burger with his product Whataburger Jr.

However, Whataburger’s sodium level Jr. It was the second highest with 750 milligrams.
4. Hamburger in-n-out
A hamburger in in-n-out is not that bad, Delish said.
“The classic hamburger has 16 grams of protein, only 360 calories, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 660 mg sodium, which for us gives it a slight advantage over Whataburger Jr.,” according to Delish.

Doing this, the in-n-out hamburger is reduced to only 200 calories, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 390 grams of sodium and eight grams of carbohydrates, Delish said.
3. McDonald’s classic hamburger
The classic hamburger in McDonald’s is a solid fast food option, Delish said.

Tips for a healthier trip with fast food
Despite Burger, there are some easy exchanges to make a slightly healthier fast trip, two Fox News Digital Nutrition Professionals said.
One is to avoid a double foil with meat and consider alternatives like the grilled chicken breast or vegetable burger, Michael Garko told Fox News Digital.
Garko is a Florida -based food adviser for Strauss Naturals, a Canadian -based supplement company.
“Grilled or vegetable men are usually lower in fat and calorie saturated compared to beef pies,” Garko said.
Also, do not forget about the impact that side dishes may have on a meal, Garko said. Potatoes fried, said Garko, “are high in trans fats, sodium and calories”, while a side salad – with a light sauce – contains vitamins and fiber.
If bypassing chips is simply not an option, Vanessa Rissetto, a registered dietitian and CEO of Culina Health, had another suggestion: remove buns.
“If you want to drink a burger with chips, my recommendation would be to eliminate buns,” Rissetto, based in New York, told the Fox News Digital.
“Not only does buns add carbohydrates and calories, but it also confuses the whole taste.”
Even carbonated drinks play a role, Rissetto said. A person seeking the healthiest trip to a fast food restaurant should “replace soda or sweet drinks with water, sugar -free tea or carbonated water”.
“Sugar drinks contribute to calorie emptying and can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance,” she said.
