This helps customers to make healthy choices. With the help of the nutrition values from Burger King, one can easily determine high calorie, fat, and sodium content present in the food. 

If you are looking for healthier items on Burger King’s menu, you can opt for burgers like whopper Jr., chicken Jr., cheeseburger, and hamburger.
