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.

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.

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

Yes, they do.

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,
