Order a Hamburger (No Bun) at Five Guys, then load it with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, pickles, mustard, and hot sauce. Ask for it in a bowl and mix it up. Total is about 333 calories, 16g protein, 6g carbs, 17g fat.
Five Guys makes this easy because the patty is the main calorie driver, and most of the standard veggie toppings and a couple sauces are basically a rounding error.
You’re not asking for anything weird. You’re just skipping the bun and using the free toppings to turn “a patty” into “a meal.”
The exact 333-calorie burger bowl order
Use this wording at the register:
“Hamburger, no bun, in a bowl.”
Add these toppings:
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- Jalapeños
- Pickles
- Mustard
- Hot sauce
- Mix it up and eat it like a burger salad.
That’s it. If they ask “all the way?” say no and list the toppings above.

Why this order works at Five Guys
A bun is where a lot of the extra calories and carbs sneak in at Five Guys.
The Hamburger (With Bun) is 542 calories with 39g carbs. The Hamburger (No Bun) is 302 calories with 0g carbs.
So you’re basically paying for what you actually came for, the beef and the toppings.
Step-by-step at the counter (no awkwardness)
Five Guys staff hears custom orders all day. This one is simple.
- Start with: “Hamburger, no bun.”
- If they ask where to put it: “In a bowl, please.”
- Then rattle off toppings: “Lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, pickles, mustard, and hot sauce.”
If you’re ordering in an app or kiosk and you can’t find “bowl,” just order Hamburger (No Bun) and select the toppings. You can still eat it as a bowl when it shows up.
Easy swaps (what changes your calories fast)
These are the add-ons that actually move the numbers.
Instead of Hamburger (With Bun), get Hamburger (No Bun) (saves 240 calories and drops carbs from 39g to 0g).
Instead of adding Ketchup (adds 30 calories, 5g carbs), get Mustard (adds 0 calories).
Instead of adding A.1. Sauce (adds 15 calories, 3g carbs), get Hot Sauce (adds 0 calories).
Instead of adding Cheese Add-On (Per Slice) (adds 70 calories, 4g protein, 6g fat), skip it if you’re trying to keep the bowl around the low 300s.
If you want more protein without changing the vibe
You’ve got two clean options, depending on how hungry you are.
- Hamburger (No Bun, Extra Patty): 604 calories, 32g protein, 0g carbs, 34g fat
- Keep the same toppings list. It’ll still eat like a burger bowl, just heavier.
If you like cheese, you can add a slice, but remember it’s 70 calories per slice.
What to drink with it
If you’re keeping the whole meal light, these are simple defaults at Five Guys:
- Diet Coke / Coke Zero: 0 calories
- Diet Sprite: 0 calories
- Unsweetened Iced Tea: 0 calories
- Black Coffee: 0 calories
Small details that make it more filling
You’re eating a patty and toppings, so texture matters.
Ask for extra lettuce and extra onions if you want more volume without really changing the macros (the veggie topping group is listed at 5 calories).
Also, don’t skip the pickles and jalapeños if you like them. Acid and heat make a bunless bowl taste less like “I ordered this on purpose.”
Last tip, bring a fork mindset. Mix the mustard and hot sauce through the veggies so every bite tastes like a burger.
