What's in it

Burger King lists the Whopper as a flame-grilled beef patty on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, ketchup and mayonnaise.

Putting the numbers in context

  • A Whopper is 130 kcal more than a Big Mac (580 kcal), with 9 g more protein.
  • Cheese adds 80 kcal and a second patty 270 kcal. A Whopper Jr. is under half a Whopper.
  • Have-it-your-way changes like no mayo change these numbers. Burger King doesn't publish them separately.

Making a Burger King Whopper meal steadier

  • Most of the meal's sugar is in the drink. A medium Coca-Cola at Burger King has 70 g of sugar (270 kcal), against 14 g in the Whopper. Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Zero have none.
  • Medium fries add 370 kcal and 50 g of carbs, close to the Whopper's own 57 g. Mott's Applesauce is 50 kcal and 13 g of carbs, though with only 1 g of fiber.
  • The Whopper's lettuce, tomato and onion don't add up to much fiber: 4 g against a 28 g Daily Value. Fiber slows how fast a meal raises blood sugar,1 so a salad or vegetables with it, eaten first, helps. In a small study of adults with type 2 diabetes, eating vegetables and protein before carbs led to a lower blood-sugar rise.2
  • A Whopper Jr. is 340 kcal and 30 g of carbs, if you want the taste with less of everything.
  • Take a short walk afterwards. In trials, breaking up sitting with short, light walks lowered blood sugar after meals compared with staying seated.3
