Whataburger Now Offers Smaller, Whole Wheat Buns
Butttt, if you just HAVE to have a bun on your burger, at least one fastfood place is now willing to offer an optional wheat one, which should at least help cut down on the "gas effect".
The bun is also slightly smaller than their standard big white bun, which should save a few cals. The wheat bun appears to be the same type that WB has always used with its chicken sandwiches, for diners familiar with those.At least it's a start in the right direction for burger joints ..

Speaking of buns Paul, I was at the grocery earlier this evening and saw these very thin buns to use. They had whole grain and maybe another kind, but I didn't buy it yet. I am considering it. It was like 13 grams of carbs maybe. I wonder if it would hold a burger?

I was just reading a psychological study (believe it or not) that apparently WB had some experts conduct regarding their smaller (white) buns on their regular burgers. The scientists found that reported "satiety" was increased 18% for diners who ate a burger made with the smaller bun vs. those made with the bigger bun. The researchers attributed the difference to the psychological effects of eating a burger in which the meat patty stretched out past the edges of the bun vs. one that didn't.
Dang!

I like them. I don't eat them everyday.
I would strongly encourage newer post-ops to wait before introducing breads, etc. into their diet. They take up LOTS of precious real estate in your tummy and offer little in actual DS nutritional reward. (just my $.02)

They didn't blink an eye when I ordered it without the bun, but I didn't expect it to come in a little salad container -- I figured they'd throw it in the same ol' cardboard box.
