Where the calories come from

Whataburger's part list explains the #1: the 5-inch bun is 310 calories and the 5-inch patty about 243. Mustard is 15, and tomato, lettuce, pickles and diced onions add only a little.

So the bun and the patty make up almost all of a #1. Dropping the bun takes the burger to about 280 calories (our math). Build your own total with the calorie calculator.

Calories in a Whatameal

A #1 Whatameal (with medium fries and a medium regular soda) is 1,400 calories. Medium fries are 420 and a medium Coca-Cola 390. A diet soda or unsweet tea cuts the meal by about 390 calories.

The #2 Whatameal is 1,645 and the #3 1,885. Meal prices are on Whataburger meal prices.

Adding cheese and bacon

A Jr. slice of American cheese is 45 calories and aged cheddar 90. The #5 Bacon & Cheese Whataburger is 750 calories, 160 more than the #1. The #4 Jalapeño & Cheese is 680.

Chicken and breakfast for comparison

If you are choosing between a burger and something else: the Grilled Chicken Sandwich is 440 calories, three Whatachick'n Strips 550, and the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit 570. The Garden Salad with grilled chicken is 290.

So a #1 at 590 sits in the middle of the menu: heavier than the Jr. or the salad, and lighter than the Double Meat, Triple Meat or Patty Melt, which all add a second patty.

Protein, fat and sodium in a #1

The #1 lists 29 g of protein, 25 g of fat, 62 g of carbs and 1,220 mg of sodium. The Jr. lists 14 g of protein in 310 calories. Lighter orders are on Whataburger healthy options.
