in Food and Nutrition
We're going to GBK for dinner on Friday and while I know it's not going to be a good day for the diet I want to hang out with my friends. In the hope of picking something vaguely healthy I've been trying to search in advance for nutritional info for their menu online but with no success, and the MFP database has any number of different values for a basic burger, ranging from 200 to 900+ calories!!! Does anyone have any idea on what the actual values are, or should I just pick a database entry that is in the middle of the range???

    God - I love GBK, but I think they are turds for not making nutrition info available like most of the decent chains in the UK do. Apparently, they have no plans to at all, either (which for me can only possibly mean that their burgers are off the scale!)

    I'd just guess to be honest. I have used this before http://thegourmetburgerco.com/downloads/gbcnutrition.pdf in order to get some sort of gauge of what I'm eating. I know the companys are different, but I figure if the one on the PDF is based on portion sizes etc in the USA, it might come in a bit less for a UK standard!

    I always just get a chicken burger, with a salad. They will have light mayo, if you ask for it. I'd try and factor in about 600-700 calories all up, possibly including a beer?

    But enjoy yourself! Salad over chips at least saves about 400 calories :) x

    Thanks for the reply. :flowerforyou: Yeah, I'm pretty sure their lack of info is purely because the values would be so scary!!! I guess once in a while there's no harm in treating yourself, and I resisted ordering dessert :smile:
