About the WHOPPER with Bacon and Cheese
The Burger King WHOPPER with Bacon and Cheese costs £5.99 and carries 721 kcal. A juicy, flame-grilled beef patty, topped with smoked bacon, melted cheese, tomatoes, fresh lettuce, mayo, pickles, a swirl of ketchup, and sliced onions, served in a soft, glazed sesame seed bun. It sits in the flame grilled burgers section of the UK menu, alongside 14 other items.
Measured out, one portion holds 39g of protein, which is 78 percent of a day's reference intake, 49g of fat, 14g of it saturated, 3.7g of salt, 62 percent of the 6g daily maximum, 13g of sugar. The salt is what makes this hard to pair, because most of what sits beside it on the menu adds more of the same.
Weight and calories together put it at about 224 kcal per 100g across a 322g serving. That makes it typical of the menu around it, so weight and satisfaction track each other here.
Against the rest of the flame grilled burgers range it ranks 7 of 13 on price, so it sits toward the pricier end. The section runs from Hamburger at £1.49 up to Double WHOPPER with Bacon and Cheese at £8.79, so the gap between the entry point and the top is worth knowing before you order.
On calories it lands 73 kcal above the flame grilled burgers average of 648 kcal. The closest thing to it on the whole menu is Texan BBQ Royale at 691 kcal, which is a useful swap to know if you want the same sort of number in a different form.
The ingredient list carries no declared allergen at all. The cross contact list carries 6: gluten, wheat, milk, egg, sesame, celery. For a preference the first list is the one to read. For a genuine allergy it is the second, every time. Of the 13 items in this section with an allergen declaration, 4 flag fewer than this one. Both are published by Burger King UK under the fourteen allergen rules, and neither accounts for how a particular kitchen works on the day.
Put beside the rest of an order, Beef Melt King Box at £4.99 and Cheeseburger at £1.79 sit in the same section and are the obvious companions. Add them up on the calorie calculator before ordering, or check the running cost against the full price list.
