A #1 Whataburger is a large bun (310), a large patty (about 243), tomato, lettuce, pickles, diced onions and mustard (15). Adding the parts gives about 588 calories against 590 listed; the small gap is pickles, lettuce and rounding.
How to use the calculator well
- Start from the item: pick the numbered burger first, then add or remove parts, so the base is Whataburger's own number.
- Add the drink: a medium regular soda is often the biggest single number after the sandwich.
- Count the dips: bundle dipping cups run from about 60 to 560 calories each.
- Remember the bun: no-bun and lettuce-wrapped orders drop the bun's calories.
Toppings and sauces in the total
Toppings move the number more than people expect. Avocado adds 90 calories, aged cheddar 90, jalapeño cream cheese 70 and a Monterey Jack slice 60. Sauces range from 0 for Buffalo and 15 for mustard to 50 for mayonnaise and 60 for ranch.
Fresh toppings are close to free: tomato is 10 calories and diced onions 10. Grilled onions are 20.
Drinks in the total
A medium regular Coca-Cola is 390 calories, Dr Pepper 380 and Sprite 370. Diet sodas and unsweet tea are close to zero, and a medium vanilla shake is 500.
That is why the same burger can be a 600-calorie meal or a 1,300-calorie meal depending on the drink and side.
Breakfast in the calculator
Breakfast items are listed whole, because Whataburger publishes them as complete items. The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is 570 calories, Breakfast On A Bun 525 and the Pancake Platter 945. Hash Brown Sticks add 190.
A coffee with vanilla sweet cream adds 150 calories; black coffee adds none. Breakfast prices are on the breakfast menu.
Three example orders
