Do amerifat fast food chains lie on nutritional charts?
pic related, A&W Bacon Double Cheese burger. 2 patties, lots of cheese, but they say it only has 650 calories. How is that possible?

Calories is generally accepted as short for kilocalories in America.

_900 calories_
How much did you expect it to be?
How many kcal/100 g?

I love it when they just pick a random popular city and use it to advertise a dish with no cultural connection to the place
Bread: 200
1/3 lb beef: 300
Cheese: 100
Bacon: +50
=========
650 Cal
Overestimating bacon and cheese desu so 650 is reasonable. I believe they are allowed 20% error
>>9054283
650 calories is about right for that, where the heavy hitting in calories will come in for most people is the fries and people drinking sodas
>>9054308
I'd say that the cheese should be 100 calories per slice (so 200 total), and then you gotta factor in the mayo, but yeah I believe that's within the allowable margin of error. Depending on how thick the bun is that would also make it more than a somewhat standard 200 calorie bun.
Why haven't burgers wrapped in lettuce instead of bread caught on in America?
To be fair ~243 kcal per 100g seems way too low unless they put a lot of salad/tomato/onions in it.

What? That's a fairly common thing to have available or "get it as a low carb wrap". There are just so many different kinds of chains/resturants that obviously not everywhere is going to do it.

>allowed 20% error
I remember in an O-chem lab, we were taking samples of like sodium or something in coca-cola.
It was wayyyy higher than the label said, I don't think that's uncommon. It's why I don't trust nutritional labels. And stuff like meat is even harder to gauge correctly because of marbling etc.
>>9054323
Cuz it sounds nasty as fuck?
>>9054336
I've always assumed that nutrition labels are more of a ballpark than anything. Especially with fast food since each worker will always put on differents amount of things without thinking about it
>>9054346
I never took the time to really think about it before then, but yes, ballpark is the correct way to interpret them.
>>9054323
Lettuce isn't as good of a thermal insulator, it doesn't hold together as well, and you can't really put much in the way of toppings in it. I prefer my lettuce wraps to be full of some kind of minced meat dish instead for those reasons.
>>9054323
because we put the lettuce between the buns like civilized humans
>>9054283
Those are Imperial calories

>People Drinking Sodas?
Is the the sequel to
Sodas Drinking People?

kinda like hamburger

Fun fact: When buying quality brand 40% vodka it's entirely possible that it actually has less than 20% alcohol.

As a rule of thumb, cheese is about 110 Cal/oz, so I estimated them each to be half an ounce. But, I looked at the amount for Kraft singles and it's 60 per slice so 120 Calories of cheese.
Yeah I forgot the mayo, and I did think the bun was more than 200
