So I actually posted this forever ago and got no replies- I really, really need the answer to this- I end up eating it as my cheat meal much of the time and I have no idea what to log, so I'm hoping maybe someone will know!

Ok, I'm a little confused. Larkburger is one of my favorite "cheat" meals...SO good. I'm pretty sure the calories on here aren't correct though. It says a 1/3 pound larkburger is only 260 calories. I am thinking this can't possibly include the bun, toppings, or sauce. It also says that my Kroger ground turkey patty (85/15) is 230 calories (that's just the meat, without the bun). Even just the meat part of the Larkburger is a lot bigger, of course has more fat, and is beef, not turkey. I'm even questioning how even just the meat on the larkburger could only be 30 more calories than a small turkey patty?

    There is not that much difference in calories or fat between beef and turkey.

    Turkey can be less healthy than beef.

    I'm struggling with the same thing. I had a little turkey larkburger today and have no idea what to log.

    The analysis that goes along with 260 calories for the regular burger is this:

    28 g of fat, or 261 calories
    28 g of prot, or 112 calories
    38 g of carb, or 152 calories

    So, 525 calories.

    Minus the bun, lets say 385.

    Minus the bun and the sauce, close to 260.

    Probably not much different for the turkey version.
