    coworker treating me to Carls Jr oh no what do i eat

    Hello I am on my 4th day of introduction and already down 8 pounds I have been doing good and all of a sudden my coworkers wants to take me to Carls Jr so I said ok, free lunch who’s going to say no. my only question is what to order . I know I can have a burger with no buns and no ketchup just the lettuce and cheese right, can I have some mayo on it if they have it. I’m am a mess right now I don’t want to cheat I plan on sticking to the induction rules 100% I almost want to cancel. I have 3½ to figure out what to order. I just want to go in and know what I want so I don’t get tempted. Any input on what you order at burger place would help. Im off to there website to see what I can dig up,

      If I remember correctly, Carls Jr has a "low-carb" burger that uses a lettuce leaf in place of the bun.

      Yes, they do.

              Well the pickles do have some sodium but I bet most of it is packed into the burger. That's what so many places use to add taste to so much food nowadays.

              There is a restaurant I go to every 2-3 weeks where I order a steak. First time I went there, They piled so much seasoning on it that I blew up for days from the salt. I could taste it as I ate it. Overnight 5# weight gain from the water retention. Now I still go there and I tell them just put a tiny pinch of seasoning. It is fine now, and the steak still tastes great, actually better without the junk on it. I do not know why they think it tastes better with the crap added to it!

              But burgers chains are notorious for adding tons of salt to their meat.

                It could be that a lot of that sodium is coming from the two slices of American cheese. The Calorie Counter - American Cheese, depending on which cheese you select, could be around 905 mg of the sodium comes from it.
