Protein per kcal: go bunless
The bun adds around 238 kcal and only 6 g of protein. The Lettuce Wrap (£7.45) shows the difference: the same patty as the Little Hamburger, 24 g of protein, 246 kcal instead of 464. Any regular burger can be ordered the same way.
Protein shakes
Some restaurants sell a Myprotein Shake with 12 g of whey (6 g in the Little); it was not on the Collect menus in our price sample. A normal Milkshake has about 7.8 g of protein but 625 kcal.
