Find out which Hungry Jack's items a nutritionist warns you should never eat!

There's no denying something utterly comforting about sinking your teeth into a juicy, flavoursome burger when hunger strikes. However, health experts have cautionary tales about the contents of these comfort foods.

Case in point: Hungry Jack's may be the go-to for a cheap and quick meal, but according to one nutritionist, there are some menu items you'll want to steer clear of if you care about your health.


Registered dietitian Susie Burrell warns that many Hungry Jack's burgers are packed with fat and salt, with some containing an entire day's worth of calories in one sitting!

‘In truth, there are few, if any, menu options that could be considered remotely balanced or healthy, which makes it difficult to find something that will suit your diet if the goal is weight control or to eat a balanced meal,’ Susie explained.

She listed the Hungry Jack's menu items she believed consumers should stay away from and shared the healthier options.

One of the nutrition no-nos is the Triple Whopper Cheese, which cranks in a massive 96g of fat, 1,380 calories and 2,010mg of sodium.

Susie claimed that the fat content in this burger ‘well exceeds the advised daily amount’.


Susie also advised staying away from the Triple Cheeseburger Super Stunner, which has a gut-busting 1,275 calories, 61g of fat and 1,868 sodium.

She explained: ‘This high-fat mix contains more calories than some adults will require in a day.’

The chain restaurant’s Grill Masters Double Angus Bacon and Cheese burger was also mentioned. With 1,200 calories, 77g fat and 1,500mg of sodium, consumers should ‘watch [their] cholesterol, blood pressure or heart health [in] general.’

Susie also said consumers should skip Hungry Jack’s Grill Masters Pulled Pork and Angus since it has 871 calories, 59.9g fat and 1,080mg sodium.

‘Don’t let the word grilled in the name fool you; any food that contains 60g of fat in a single serve is one to avoid,’ she stated.

‘There are a range of burgers that are much better options than this meat and sauce heavy option.’

But it's not all doom and gloom—there are slightly better choices on the menu if you're in a bind.


Susie recommended the Grilled Chicken burger (342 calories, 15.4g fat and 663mg of sodium) or a Cheeseburger (309 calories, 13.8g fat and 893mg of sodium) as the lowest calorie option. But even then, she says it's best to hold the mayo and ask for extra salad.

She also mentioned the chicken nuggets as a healthier option, saying: ‘The calories in 6 Nuggets are reasonable, just go easy with the high sugar dipping sauces.’

Depending on the diet, people should consume 45g to 75g of fat and less than 2,300mg of salt intake a day.

For those craving a burger fix, Susie shared some healthier homemade recipes on her social media page. She claimed these recipes are just as tasty as burgers or other fast food options.

I don't totally agree with Suzie in that whether it's Hungry Jack's, KFC or the Golden Arches, they are all a pretty bad choice but in a pinch if I had a choice it would be Hungry Jack's, it tastes like real food not the Golden Arches cardboard 'bread' rolls and no taste meals or oily KFC

Why would you eat most of it. Calories are rubbish but so is most of the fast food. Eat the meat patty, the egg if there is one. Not often as they are probably cooked in canola oil, that is not fit for human consumption. The rest is rubbish
 
One true test is to see if a dog eats it.... more than likely it will turn its nose up on the junk. Who would eat that stuff anyway?

She forgot to mention McDonalds. There was one of their Waygu Burgers 1 of the GrandDaughters Partner had left on the outside table. It had been there for about 4 days, under a hat. I thought it was just a hat left behind but when I removed it, there was the burger. About this time of year, and there was not a fly or maggot in sight And the burger looked as good as new. So, how many perservatives are in one of those, and how much meat.???????????????

Why should anyone listen to a nutritionist? All they wanna do is take the fun out of everything anyone eats!!! They are dictators with a degree to try and boss people into eating bland boring and look terrible (also by the sound of it contains mouse food - pumpkin seeds is a great thing to use a bait in a mouse trap they love them).

I don't care for what the nutritionist said to have instead - sounds to me like she is a brand embassador for a tinned seafood company to begin with and she can stick her recipe where the sun don't shine cause i'd rather eat the Hungry jacks burger - it would taste and look a whole lot yummier and appealing than her crap pile of a concoction.

One thing i would NEVER try again was their Nuggets - completely DISGUSTING SPEW VOMIT AND YEUCH!!!!!

Not that i go to the local HJ anyway - it is dark, dingy and uninviting since new management took over and stripped out the 50's diner bright cheery style for plain bland boring unlit freaksville - even the atmosphere is creepy.
