Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Burger King Adds Bunless Burger
Todays paper says Burger King introduces their hamburger without buns. It comes with a fork and plastic container. Stores are urged by the home office to charge the same price as the bunned burger. PJ On CNBC yesterday it was reported that Burger King was also going to add Steak and shrimp to the menu and to start offering a salad instead of fries if requested. Someone is really thinking. I wonder if I would have tried Atkins if my Dr hadn't recommended it. How long would I have taken to give it a shot? 1/2 lb lighter today and should make 20 lb lost by this weekend! making Jell-O to celebrate. my downfall: I love pork rinds with little splenda shaken on it! got to keep those to a reasonable portion or it will be 1/2 a bag.

Someone is really thinking. What a great idea....I just hope they are smart about the use of fats and salad dressings, too. Imagine the possibility of healthy fast food. It seems like an oxymoron. :: I wonder if I would have tried Atkins if my Dr hadn't recommended :: it. How long would I have taken to give it a shot? I did. I saw someone I respect get good results. That started me to reading up. Then I found this place. :: 1/2 lb lighter today and should make 20 lb lost by this weekend!

And if you can't control yourself with them....don't keep them around --- make them a once-in-a-while treat. >:: making Jell-O to celebrate. my downfall: I love pork rinds with >:: little splenda shaken on it! got to keep those to a reasonable >:: portion or it will be 1/2 a bag. > >Right.

Isn't a serving size the whole bag/can? hahaha I think I basically made that my dinner last night. damn... Mike > Todays paper says Burger King introduces their hamburger without > buns.

The datgum company cant spring for good lettuce to wrap it in? What are drive thru users supposed to do? Get in a frikkin accident???Fast Food restaurants should put a lil noggin power into it! Like if you are going to eat it with a fork and knife at least make it like a oblong shape with a mushroom au jus with turnip fries! DUH! Turnips arent very expensive are they? Or sauteed mushrooms with melted cheese and grilled onion slice! OR wrap it in lettuce ! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! >> Todays paper says Burger King introduces their hamburger without >> buns.

That's funny....about the only kind of burger I've ever felt comfortable eating while driving are those very basic burgers --- bun, small pattie, cheese, mustard, etc. I would never even try a whopper or big mac while driving --- stuff could all out everything and cause you to have an accident. I'd never consider driving witha lettuce wrapped burger. I can barely eat them sitting. :: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- :: Sooner or later, all of our names wind up on a Post-It. :: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > I would never even try a whopper or big mac while driving --- stuff > could all out everything and cause you to have an accident.

I used to go to Wendy's a lot while low-cabring because they had actual chunks of lettuce you could wrap the burger and condiments in (I'd just discard the bun). Too many places only use shredded lettuce, which is impossible to wrap anything in. I've found it easy enough to eat while driving once you make the wrap. > Thats Lame! > The datgum company cant spring for good lettuce to wrap it in? [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > OR wrap it in lettuce ! > ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! A burger wrapped in lettuce could be pretty messy--although it would be more useful if you are eating on the run. I wonder when the cauliflower-based French fries are going to debut, anyway? BTW, avoiding BJ's fries is no loss for me, because I have loathed them ever since they changed them years ago. SignatureJean B. << ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! >><BR><BR> Its marketing. Bad marketing at that. Burger King is alzy and looking to exploit the low carb craze. If they are really interested in satisfying the low carbers, they would offer a low carb ketchup and a low carb bun. And why are they ommitting mayo from the burger when figuring out the net carbs for the burgers?, doesn't mayo have no carbs? Also how is it that the bunless burgers have 3 carbs? Where do they come from? =========================================================== "Someday I know we'll live those dreams we left so far behind' You'll never know unless you try, to see what's yours and mine" >Bad marketing at that.

I think several things on the no mayo: - it probably saves them money. - mayo does have calories in it, so by doing it this way, they can say they are helping the dieters out. - by having the person ordering put the mayo on, they save time and also allow the person doing it to put it on. Personally, I would like them to come up with a low carb dieting topping they could put on. - Richard Hutnik |
