    1,000 Calorie Challenge In-N-Out Edition

    2024-09-08

    Fast food is meant to be fast, not healthy.

    That’s not changing anytime soon, but with some strategic ordering, you can minimize the damage to your diet.

    With two In-N-Out locations in Henderson, ordering smart can help anyone enjoy them more often without their waistline suffering the consequences.

    The Challenge

    The challenge has two rules:

    • You must order a burger, regular fries, and a drink.
    • The total number of calories must be under 1,000 calories.

    Here is the approximate calorie count of each option.

    Burgers

    • Hamburger w/ Onion (360)
    • Cheeseburger w/ Onion (430)
    • Double-Double w/ Onion (610)

    Fries

    • Fries (360)

    Drinks

    • Coke (130)
    • Diet Coke (0)
    • Coffee (0)
    • Hot Cocoa (160)
    • Milkshake (610)

    After looking at the calorie counts, a couple of things stand out.

    1. Ordering a milkshake and keeping the meal under 1,000 carries is impossible.
    2. If you go with a double-double, you must order a no-calorie drink to stay under 1,000.

    Possible Meal Combinations

    Double Double Options

    • Double-Double w/ Onion (610)
    • Fries (360)
    • Coke (130), Diet Coke (0), or Coffee (0)

    Hamburger or Cheeseburger options

    • Hamburger w/ Onion (360) or Cheeseburger w/ Onion (430)
    • Fries (360)
    • Coke (130) or Hot Cocoa (160)

    Final Thoughts

    In-N-Out will never be confused with healthy food. But it doesn’t have to destroy your diet completely.

    With a few strategic choices, like not drinking your calories, you can keep the number of calories under control.
