What to Order at Five Guys on Ozempic (GLP-1 Friendly Guide)

Nutrition guide for Five Guys

Five Guys is a challenging restaurant for GLP-1 patients. Their philosophy is "more is more" -- huge burgers, overflowing fries, and no lighter menu options. A regular Five Guys cheeseburger runs over 800 calories, and their regular fries can top 950 calories (yes, nearly a thousand calories of fries).

But Five Guys has one saving grace: they will make any burger bunless, wrapped in lettuce. This opens up some workable GLP-1 options if you approach the menu strategically.

Top 5 Ozempic-Friendly Orders

1. Little Hamburger (Bunless, Lettuce Wrap)

Calories: 240 | Protein: 17g | Carbs: 0g | Fat: 17g

Coach Score: 44/100

The Little Hamburger is Five Guys' single-patty option. Going bunless wraps it in lettuce and drops the carbs to zero. At 240 calories with 17g of protein, it is the most GLP-1-appropriate option. Load it with free toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms for volume.

2. Little Cheeseburger (Bunless)

Calories: 310 | Protein: 20g | Carbs: 1g | Fat: 24g

Coach Score: 40/100

If you want cheese, the Little Cheeseburger in lettuce wrap adds one slice of American cheese. The fat is higher but the portion is still manageable at 310 calories with 20g of protein.

3. Veggie Sandwich (Bunless)

Calories: 120 | Protein: 5g | Carbs: 12g | Fat: 7g

Coach Score: 42/100

The Veggie Sandwich is a pile of grilled vegetables and mushrooms. Going bunless makes it very low-calorie at 120 calories. The protein is low, but on a day when your stomach is sensitive, this is the gentlest option.

4. Hot Dog (No Bun)

Calories: 310 | Protein: 11g | Carbs: 2g | Fat: 28g

Coach Score: 30/100

Not the healthiest option, but the kosher-style hot dog without a bun is a simple, small item. The protein is low and fat is high, so this is more of a fallback option. Top with mustard, onions, and relish instead of cheese.

5. Hamburger (Bunless, Lettuce Wrap)

Calories: 440 | Protein: 27g | Carbs: 0g | Fat: 34g

Coach Score: 38/100

The regular Hamburger has two patties. Bunless, it delivers 27g of protein in zero carbs. The fat content is high (34g), so this is best for days when your appetite can handle a richer meal. Eat one patty and save the second if needed.

What to Avoid

Regular Fries (953 cal, 41g fat): Five Guys fries are legendary -- and legendarily calorie-dense. Nearly 1,000 calories for a regular order. Even a "little" fries is 530 calories.

Bacon Cheeseburger with Bun (920 cal, 62g fat): The full-size, two-patty bacon cheeseburger with the bun is more food than most GLP-1 patients should eat in a meal, possibly two.

Milkshakes (700-900+ cal): Five Guys milkshakes are enormous and loaded with sugar. A single shake can exceed your entire meal calorie budget.

Cajun Fries (same calories as regular): The seasoning does not change the calorie count. Still nearly 1,000 calories.

How to Customize Your Order

Always go bunless (lettuce wrap). This saves 240 calories and 39g of refined carbs per burger.

Order the "Little" size. At Five Guys, "Little" means one patty. The regular has two. Little is the right portion for GLP-1.

Load up on free toppings. Five Guys offers free toppings including lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and jalapenos. These add volume and nutrients without calories.

Skip the fries entirely. There is no small, reasonable fries option at Five Guys. Even the little fries are 530 calories. Your burger is your meal.

Use mustard instead of ketchup and mayo. Mustard is zero calories. Ketchup adds a small amount of sugar. Mayo adds 100+ calories.

Ozempic-Specific Tips for Five Guys

Five Guys is a "bunless Little burger" restaurant on GLP-1. That is your only real play. Accept it and enjoy the quality beef with toppings.

Do not order fries. This cannot be stressed enough. Five Guys fries are the most calorie-dense item at almost any restaurant chain.

The peanuts at the counter are a trap. While you wait, the free peanuts are tempting. A handful is about 160 calories. Keep your hands out of the barrel.

Five Guys is better as an occasional treat. Without grilled chicken, salads, or lighter options, it is hard to make this a regular GLP-1 restaurant.
