How to order at Freddy's on a GLP-1

Freddy's is steakburgers and frozen custard, but it quietly publishes bowls, and the Grilled Chicken Bowl and Steakburger Bowl are two of the better GLP-1 orders in fast food, built from Freddy's own published nutrition and Nishi's transparent GLP-1 scoring lens.

The move

Get a Grilled Chicken Bowl or a Steakburger Bowl with the dressing on the side, or order a steakburger No Cheese, and save the shoestring fries and the frozen-custard concrete for the treat.

The quick take

Freddy's looks like a pure indulgence stop, steakburgers and frozen custard, but it's one of the better burger chains for a GLP-1 because it publishes bowls. The Grilled Chicken Bowl (dressing on the side) is 37 g of protein and just 10 g of carbs for 420 calories, and the Steakburger Bowl is 55 g of protein and 9 g of carbs, though at 45 g of fat it's a heavier pick. On the sandwich side, ordering a steakburger No Cheese keeps it lean: a Single is 380 calories with 24 g of protein, a Double is 570 with 43 g. The 3-piece Chicken Tenders are 35 g of protein for only 17 g of fat, and the sleeper is the Steakburger Taco at 360 calories, 25 g of protein, and just 560 mg of sodium, the lowest on the menu. Steer around the Prime Steakburgers (54 g of fat on a single patty), the fried Crispy and Spicy chicken, the shoestring fries, and the frozen-custard concretes, which are the real dessert.

The menu, scored

Order one as-is. Scored for whole meals, a gentler bar than the single ingredients above, since a balanced meal is naturally less protein-dense and fat only counts against it once it tops half the calories. Best fit first; tap "Show the math" to see the exact rule on any card. How we score.
