Meal planning can be quite challenging if you’re trying to shed a few pounds. This is especially true when you’re out and about and want to grab a bite to eat. With so many options to choose from these days, even at your favorite fast food restaurants, you don’t have to deprive yourself. Get excited because we’re here to share the best Shake Shack order to lose weight without breaking the calorie bank.
Shake Shack offers a diverse menu, including meatless options, veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches, organic iced tea, homemade lemonade, their famous shakes, and more. Why is this good news for your diet? Well, variation in a weight loss journey is helpful for “shaking things up” (pun intended!) in your meal rotation so you don’t risk getting bored; it also helps promote sustainability. The key to successful weight loss is making smart choices and practicing moderation.
Now, if you’ve lost your appetite, let’s move on to the best Shake Shack order for weight loss.
If you’re eating at Shake Shack for breakfast, consider the Egg White Light Breakfast Sandwich.
Nutrition (per breakfast sandwich):
Calories: 320
Fat: 18 g (Saturated fat: 8 g)
Sodium: 440mg
Crabs: 26 g (Fiber: 0 g, Sugar: 6 g)
Protein: 15 g
When you stop by Shake Shack for breakfast, consider ordering the Egg White Light sandwich. Topped with free-range eggs, this sandwich is only 320 calories, making it a great protein-packed start to the day compared to many of the chain’s other high-calorie options.
“[The Egg White Light is a] “Great source of protein to help increase satiety and keep blood sugar levels stable,” says Megan Hilbert, MS, RDNa registered dietitian specializing in gut health nutrition Best Nutrition Coaching“This sandwich is also lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, which is important for those with high cholesterol! It does have more sodium, but compared to other breakfast options, it’s a better way to start the day.”
The Veggie Shack (simple) is one of the healthiest Shake Shack orders for weight loss.

Nutrition (per burger):
Calories: 630
Fat: 31 g (Saturated fat: 16 g)
Sodium: 1630 mg
Crabs: 53 g (Fiber: 2 g, Sugar: 8 g)
Protein: 20g
At lunch or dinner time, Hilbert also offers you some selections.
“This is a veggie burger filled with real vegetables like mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots, farro and quinoa which together make a great protein substitute and also add fiber to the meal, which is often hard to find in a fast food restaurant,” says Hilbert. “Fiber can also help increase satiety and keep us fuller for longer, which can be particularly helpful on a weight loss journey.”
The Veggie Shack (single) contains 630 calories. However, you can easily reduce the calorie count by eliminating cheese, crispy onions, and/or shack sauce.
If Veggie Shack isn’t really your thing, Hilbert says Shake Shack’s “Shroom Burger” on a lettuce wrap is another great option, at about 355 calories.
“The crispy, baked portobello mushroom adds a savory element to this burger that can be harder to find in vegetarian options,” Hilbert tells us. “For those looking for a lower-calorie version of a shake burger, the portobello and lettuce wrap is a great alternative and also contains less saturated fat and more fiber, which can help you trim your waistline.”
General tips for ordering healthier products at Shack Shack:


Consider the following tips to help you order healthier foods the next time you visit Shake Shack.
- Fiber should be your priority. A great way to get your fiber fix is to add vegetable toppings to everything you eat. Examples include tomatoes, onions, pickles, cherry peppers, lettuce, pickled jalapeños, and avocado (which is a fruit).
- Be careful with cheese and sauces. Extra calories can add up quickly when you’re dining at a fast food restaurant. Substitute items like cheese and sauces, or consider ordering them on the side so you can control the size of your meal.
- Be careful of jolts and sides. French fries and milkshakes are full of unnecessary calories. They can certainly be a pleasant treat to enjoy from time to time, but on a daily basis, they should be avoided or shared with your dining companion so as not to have too many.
