I like getting a whataburger with a whatachickin patty and double cheese with no veggies and BBQ sauce, on a wheat bun (simply because there's less bread that way).

I can't wait to try the Doubledown.

460 for the grilled and I'm assuming less without the sauce which is probably some full-fat mayo base.

I average like ~300 calories per meal, 460 or even 540 wouldn't be too bad as an occasional indulgence.

You eating 7+ times a day?

depends on the day... I tend to get 800-1K calories/day from "meals" and another 2-400 from snacks.

You only eat like 1,200 calories a day? Are you like 4' tall?

Yeah, I think the average sized male should intake around 2400. If you are very active, around 3300. Though if 50% is processed junk food, it's a little rough burning off.

Using chicken as bread is probably more nourishing than the crappy white bread they would use otherwise.

No you don't, you just fail at counting calories...
Well unless you are intentionally starving yourself. :eek:
I'm pretty good at counting calories... I've had kind of a light day today, but I've eaten:

-chobani yogurt: 140 calories
-1/2 cup cereal: 67 calories
-8oz skim milk: 80 calories (4oz with the cereal and another 4 with coffee)
-4oz boneless, skinless chicken breast: 110 calories
-6oz boneless, skinless chicken breast: 175 calories

over the course of the day, I also ate 2 kiwis, an orange, a plum, and a cadbury creme egg.

tbh, I'm under where I'd like to be calorie-wise right now... I'm hoping that I feel a bit hungry in a couple hours before bed and I'll have a few slices of deli meat rolled with cheese (or a glass of milk if I'm not feeling hungry)

5'10", 165 lbs and trying to lose another 10-15.

I want a Burger made with a Bagel. Not some wussy Bagel, but an authentic Rye Bread Bagel in all its' firm and chewy goodness.

I was horrified recently when I bought some Bagels. I quickly scanned the Nutrition label, saw "300 Calories", then proceeded to toast 2 whole Bagels. Spread some Avocado, some Cream Cheese, and some sliced Dill Pickles on and made 2 sandwiches. It was delicious. I did this for a few days, then, being bored waiting for the toasting to complete, I decided to read the Nutrition label again. Yadda yadda ya....300 Calories per half Bagel..yadda ya...WTF? 300 Calories per half Bagel??

Needless to say I cut back to 1 Bagel per day after that.

I've done it.

it's not all you'd think it would be. maybe I just have a small mouth, but like the thickness of the bagel ends up squeezing the burger out when you bite into it.

Ya, I can see that happening. Definitely couldn't stack it full of Tomato and what not. A simple Cheese Burger with a few Condiments, slice of Onion, Lettuce, and Pickles should work. I think I'll give it a go the next time I have some.

I think the size of the Burger Patty will make a difference. Using a Pressed Patty should make it strong enough to stand up to the pressures involved. The typical hand formed patty is just too loosely packed to withstand the pressures.

Why replace the buns with chicken breasts...and remove the chicken that goes between the buns?

I demand a triple stack.

Edit: My post count is now 13 in binary.

I would be starving if I had that for each meal. :(
