In-N-Out Double-Double with an extra meat used to be one of my favorites during a long day. Thankfully, only a couple of minor changes are needed to avoid giving up In-N-Out.
In-N-Out is one of the few chains whose nutrition charts show the calorie/fat contribution of ingredients such as spread or mayonnaise.
Looking at http://www.in-n-out.com/nutritional_info.asp, it's pretty clear that skipping the spread in favor of mustard+ketchup shaves off 80cal/9g worth of energy. If you can't give up the spread, going with the regular Cheeseburger with onion and no fries gives us a tidy 480cals/27g sandwich.
If you're a meat-eater like me, one thin meat patty just doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, a regular Double-Double comes in at a weighty 670cals/41g...bummer. Looking down the chart, holding the spread gets us down to 590cals/32g, which only a 2g above the cutoff.
Normally, I'd look past that, but I always felt that In-N-Out burgers have WAY too much cheese for the amount of meat - hence the extra meat I would usually order. In this case, though, going with two meats and one cheese gives a much better balance and takes its fat content well under the 30g limit. Since I never really cared too much for the crappy sour american 'mustard,' I asked to skip that, as well. BBQ sauce or Russian mustard would've been awesome, but no such luck there =(
