Michaela Konzal Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm having a hard time with convenience. I'm always on the go and I wake up early to prepare food for the whole day. However, it would be REALLY nice to get a quick meal. I had Chipotle yesterday (salad, no dressing, carnitas, mild salsa and guac) but does anyone know anything about In-N-Out Burger? They advertise quality and protein style options. I was thinking a double double, no cheese no sauce made protein style. Basically this means it's two hamburger patties with onion and tomato wrapped in lettuce. I'm just worried about what oil the patties are grilled in.

whitjm5 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would also worry about the quality of the meat. It's probably factory farmed. We ate out once during our Whole30 and that was, you guessed it, Chipotle. It's tough. Have you thought about doing a large cook-up on a day off so you have stuff that's quick/easy to prepare when you're "on the go"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Hong Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So are In-N-Out beef patties [only, no salt] Whole30 compliant? I sometimes get these out of convenience. Would that reset my 30 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megsswm Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I was at IN and Out over the weekend with some friends and asked a lot of questions. THe patties protein style should be compliant as they are fresh with no additives. The sauce , ketchup, etc is not...but if you get a double double protein style you should be okay....they dont use oil to grill them either I was told. Also Five Guys burgers is compliant if your careful there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Claydon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you can go without sauces and have them cook without oil then you should be ok. The quality of meat is always a good-better-best decision. Just b/c it isn't grass-fed doesn't mean you can't eat it. Ideally you want to limit your consumption of factory farmed meat products, but this life, and that's not always going to be a viable option. So George, I think you are ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaela Elmore Cogswell Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 and In and Out grinds their own burgers with no added fillers. It's a much better choice than most other burger options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyHorist Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 PSA: In N Out does not use any oil for their meat patties or onions. I work there and on my breaks have been eating a Double Meat (no cheese) grilled onion, Mustard, Tomato, pickle only protein style (lettuce wrapped). Or I just have 2 meat patties with pickles and tomatoes on the side. And I know fries go against the spirit, but our fries are technically compliant also as they are cooked in cottonseed oil. Our spread is packed with soy so stay away from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fries might be compliant based on their ingredients but no commercially prepared french fries are compliant on the Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yummm I love In n Out protein style burgers! I do double meat and get them mustard fried with double veg and extra pickles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted April 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 21, 2015 Watch out for toppings at Five Guys - the mushrooms are not compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
