The Low Carb one has 74 grams less fat for a reduction of 666 calories
from fat, and 54 grams less carb for a reduction of 216 calories from
carb. It also has 34 grams less protein for a reduction of 144 calories
from protein. About 21% of the calorie reduction is from carb reduction.
Now, why do they give some sort of implication that it is less fattening
primarily because it is low carb?
Even compared to the "Original Six Dollar Burger", most of the calorie
reduction is from reduction of caloric content other than carbs.
Also, this low carb burger sure does not look like a burger to me. It
has no bun. The picture looks to me like it is in a bag-like paper
wrapper.
