Fuddruckers Restaurant Nutrition Facts: Learn the Ins and Outs of Dining Out on a Diet
Unfortunately, visiting the company’s website to learn Fuddruckers restaurant nutrition facts is not possible as of 2010. The eatery does not publish its nutritional data, which is actually becoming a rarity in the dining out world. The good news is health websites such as Livestrong do use printed Fuddruckers nutritional information to publicize exactly how good–or not-so-good–of a choice specific menu items can be.
Quality Control
When using any independent website for nutritional information quality control is important. Livestrong allows users to submit their own pieces of Fuddruckers restaurant nutrition facts. However, they do verify facts and those that are provably accurate (such as through a printed Fuddruckers nutrition card) are labeled as “Verified.” These are the best types of sources to use when an eatery does not publish its own nutritional data online, especially if a weight loss diet or a health issue such as high blood pressure is a concern.
But data that is not verified may still be accurate; use your best judgment. If someone says a dessert like a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream is low-fat, clearly the accuracy is suspect.
Surprisingly Reasonably Healthy Side Dish
Most people think potato wedges or French fries are a dietary evil. While it’s probably not a good idea to wolf these down every day, Fuddruckers does offer reasonably healthy potato wedges as a side dish. An average serving from the eatery, weighing in at about 3 ounces, is verified by Livestrong professionals to consist of 120 calories, 3 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrate and 2 grams of protein. Those on a low-carb diet might want to skip this treat, but most people–even those trying to watch their weight–should be able to enjoy this side dish not usually considered a health-conscious choice!
Veggie Burgers
Veggie burgers can be an excellent way to enjoy a tasty meal and at Fuddruckers don’t have to be boring. Remember that the eatery features an expansive toppings bar, which you can load with healthy and delicious items such as pico de gallo, pickles, onions, tomato slices and jalapeno peppers. Obviously adding loads of mayo will dramatically impact the healthiness of a veggie burger or any other sandwich, but ketchup and/or mustard are low calorie choices though a bit high in sodium.
A Fuddruckers veggie burger with bun is 170 calories, 4.5 fat grams, 25 grams of carbohydrate and 8 grams of protein. The nutritional data is verified as authentic by Livestrong staff members.
Remember each tablespoon of mayo is about 11 grams of fat and 100 calories, so if you choose to add this to any Fuddruckers sandwich be sure to do so sparingly. This helps protect your weight and general heart health!
