Difficulty: Challenging

1. Stay away from sausage items on the Whataburger menu, which has significantly more calories than the bacon choices. Order a biscuit with bacon with 365 calories and 20 fat grams, instead of the biscuit with sausage with 503 calories and 34 grams of fat.
2. Compliment your meal with drinks like milk, with 120 calories, or orange juice, with 140 calories, instead of high-calorie sodas, all of which total more than 200 calories.
3. Eat dessert at Whataburger, but don't make it a milkshake. Choose a chocolate chunk cookie with 140 calories and 8 fat grams or a hot apple pie with 250 calories and 12 grams of fat. The medium milkshakes boast calorie counts as high as 904 and 25 fat grams.
4. Choose a breakfast of pancakes, with only 300 calories and 3 grams of fat, or pancakes and bacon with 375 calories and 8 fat grams total. Resist the temptation of a biscuit with sausage, egg and cheese, which has 629 calories and enough fat for a full day—43 grams.
5. Select a healthy breakfast side item such as two slices of bacon for just 75 calories and 5 grams of fat, or the scrambled eggs with 162 calories and 11 fat grams. Skip the cinnamon rolls, which each contain 439 calories and 6 grams of fat.
