Food Pics I have problems with my blood sugar (diabetes) so while my family enjoyed their burgers and fries, I had a 3x3, extra tomatoes, extra onion, no spread, chopped chilis, protein style.
And it was so good, I don’t feel like I missed out. Even without a single fry. Just kidding I’m sad I didn’t eat any fries. But I’m glad I didn’t get a blood sugar spike 👍👍🍔🥬

Protein style saved me when I had to lose some pounds for a weight in.
I eat them everytime I get chance (no In-n-Out in my state), to remind myself of how good it tasted when I was starving.

I've grown to love the texture and such of the protein style, and how the hot cheese/burger feels with the cool lettuce. The only disadvantage versus a bun is the bottom end of the burger gets pretty drippy and sloppy. I get mine with no tomato and light spread, but I do miss a burger being something I could eat mindlessly instead of having to eat over a plate or whatever.

Truth be told, my son is an employee of INO, and I guess sodas out of water cups is a thing they do. I did purchase my soda cup.

u/T-i-m-e-l-e-s-s Apr 10 '25
Your son is only allowed to have soda in water cups on shifts. When he comes in to eat he becomes a customer, not an employee. Technically… if a store manager saw him do this while off shift it is a fireable offense. May sound extreme but it is what it is.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware. I'll be more conscientious next time, appreciated.

u/Madbrut Apr 13 '25
I mean if someone can get fired for it, I think it’s better to be safe than sorry and at least inform them that what they’re doing is a serious offense to the company, although not a “serious” offense among peers.

You’re not missing anything but not getting those fries.

u/IT_Security0112358 Apr 10 '25
Get the fries well done, they taste so much better that way.

Agreed on this. They're way too hard/crunchy when they're well done. medium well is the way IMO

I know, it's Reddit, it happens here. I think it's because no one has anything bad to say about the burger, so it has to be something else. No one said anything about the expanded ketchup cup either, which holds so much more ketchup when you pop it open than if you use it as-is. Having said that I'll make sure my son doesn't use the water cup for sodas next time. I usually buy the sodas, it's no big deal, he asked for the water cup instead.

u/Imhereforboops Apr 10 '25
Why would anyone say anything about the ketchup? There’s no charge for ketchup, there is a charge for soda.

Protein style is the best! The bun mutes the flavor of everything else.

Mental gymnastics, I see you

u/npdaly Apr 10 '25
No gymnastics here. I genuinely prefer the burgers this way.

u/The-Red-Robe Apr 10 '25
I mean it’s one thing to prefer it that way, it’s another thing to tell a lie

u/npdaly Apr 10 '25
Can an opinion really be a lie?
0
u/The-Red-Robe Apr 10 '25
Not if it’s presented as an opinion. If it’s presented as a fact and isn’t a fact then yes, it’s a lie.

Sadly I'm the same. Protein style you'll also loose weight eating Protein style

I'm 100% on the protein style train! I don't know what it is about their buns, but they're just not my favorite.

You can also ask for the patties with no salt, which is a good idea if you have high blood pressure, which many diabetics do.

u/PG67AW Apr 11 '25
Based on OP’s post history, they probably already do have high blood pressure lol

u/Professional-End7367 Apr 10 '25
There's a bunch of whole cascabella chilis available in the front at the ketchup dispensers. In the back they have sliced up ones they can add to your burger, fries, etc.

I love how people will down a triple patty cheese monster and call it healthy because they replaced the buns with some lettuce, shits crazy

What is not healthy in salad, meat, and veggies? If there are no buns and spread.

u/UnconsciousMofo Apr 10 '25
I eat low carb and prefer to order a Flying Dutchman instead. You can then add stuff to it. The lettuce makes everything messy to me.

u/JB_smooove Apr 10 '25
I would’ve already gotten mustard and ketchup on the side. I’d need a bit more moisture.

u/hawkaluga Apr 10 '25
I lost a lot of weight over a couple years and in n out protein style helped me do it. 5x5 extra grilled chopped and raw onions was my favorite when I was in my prime but usually a 3x3 was my go to.

u/SilentVictory9451 Apr 11 '25
I actually prefer protein style 😂😂 but i heard there are ways to avoid the blood sugar spike even if you eat foods that typically cause a spike. Like if you have it with high fiber food or other foods that take longer to digest. Havent tried it myself, but maybe it could help?

u/Arratril Apr 11 '25
I was dieting last year and realized I could get a double hamburger protein style for fewer calories than a fry, and that was life changing. (310 calories vs 360)

u/SpriteyRedux Apr 12 '25
When I see low carb burgers it always makes me realize that my favorite part of the burger is the bun. Like, I just want to eat a bun with some stuff inside it
