Shake Shack Nutrition & Allergens (2026): Calories & Diet Guide

(Last Updated : October 2026)
If you’re trying to work out what’s in your Shake Shack order, this page has the numbers. You’ll find the calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium for every burger, chicken sandwich, hot dog, side, shake and drink, a free calculator that adds up your whole order, and a plain-English allergen chart. Further down there are ordering tips for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, low-carb and high-protein diets. As a quick reference, a single ShackBurger is 500 calories, regular fries are 470 and a classic shake runs 680 to 850.

How to Estimate an Order by Hand ?

You don’t need a tool to get a close number. Shake Shack builds its burgers from the same parts, so you can add them up yourself.

Step 1. Start with the item from the nutrition tables further down. If your exact order is listed, use that number. Sides, shakes and drinks should be taken as listed, because their totals don’t come from adding parts.

Step 2. For burgers, add or subtract components using these values from the sheet:

Component	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Sodium
Beef patty (each)	190	19 g	0 g	690 mg
Potato bun	180	7 g	24 g	170 mg
Gluten-free bun	160	3 g	31 g	350 mg
Lettuce wrap	5	1 g	1 g	15 mg
American cheese	70	4 g	1 g	340 mg
Bacon (2 slices)	90	6 g	0 g	160 mg
Avocado	60	1 g	3 g	0 mg
Crispy onions	110	1 g	7 g	95 mg
ShackSauce	60	0 g	0 g	60 mg

Lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion add 1 to 5 calories each, so they’re effectively free.

Step 3. Add your side and drink from the tables below.

Worked examples :

Hamburger to Bacon Cheeseburger: 370 + cheese 70 + bacon 90 = 530. The sheet lists the single Bacon Cheeseburger at 500, so expect about 30 calories of drift.
Gluten-free bun swap: single ShackBurger 500 − potato bun 180 + gluten-free bun 160 = 480, which matches the sheet.
Bunless: 500 − 180 + 5 = 325. The sheet says 330, so expect a few calories of drift.
No cheese, no sauce: ShackBurger 500 − cheese 70 − ShackSauce 60 = 370 calories and 850 mg sodium. That’s exactly the single Hamburger, which is a handy check that the method works.

A full meal: single ShackBurger, regular fries and a small lemonade.

Item	Calories	Protein	Carbs	Sodium
Single ShackBurger	500	29 g	26 g	1,250 mg
Regular fries	470	6 g	63 g	740 mg
Small lemonade	160	0 g	43 g	10 mg
Total	1,130	35 g	132 g	2,000 mg

That sits inside Shake Shack’s own combo range of 970 to 1,240 calories for a single ShackBurger meal (a Big Shack meal is 1,380 to 1,640). The sodium alone is about 87% of the 2,300 mg daily value.
Treat hand-built totals as close, not exact. Rounding and portion differences can move a result by 5 to 10 calories. For allergies or strict medical limits, use the official sheet.

Shake Shack Nutrition PDF

Shake Shack publishes a Nutrition & Allergen Information PDF for its U.S. menu, and its app shows the same details when you order. It’s the most reliable source for any Shake Shack number, which is why this page is built on it.

Shake-Shack-Nutrition-Facts-2026 Download

What’s Inside the PDF ?

The sheet is organized by menu category: burgers, chicken, breakfast, flat-top dogs, fries and sides, sauces, shakes, floats, cups and sundaes, drinks, combo meals, limited-time offerings, lifestyle offerings (the lettuce wrap and gluten-free bun versions), and beer, wine and cocktails. A few regional items, such as the NYC Late Night fries, only appear there.

How to Read the Columns ?

Each row gives calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, fiber, sugars and protein. The allergens for each item are printed in green next to its name.

Three details are easy to miss:

An asterisk means the item isn’t sold at every Shack.
The sugar column is total sugars, which includes natural sugar from milk. It isn’t the same as added sugar.
Combo meal rows show a range, because the total depends on which side and drink you choose.

Why the Same Burger Shows Different Calories Online ?

If you’ve compared tables on different sites, you’ve probably seen numbers that don’t match. There are three usual reasons.
The first is old data. Many tables still show the Wake Up Shack at 630 calories. The January 2026 sheet lists it at 670. Recipes change, and older figures linger online.
The second is size confusion. Some price lists show 760 calories next to “ShackBurger,” but that’s the double. The single is 500.
The third is rounding. Figures written as “about 450” or “~350” are estimates, not sheet values. If you’re counting carefully, use a source that shows exact numbers and a date.

What the PDF Doesn’t Tell You ?

The sheet describes ingredients and averages. It doesn’t say how a kitchen handles shared fryers, grills or toppings, and portions at your Shack can differ slightly from the average. That matters most for allergies, so it’s covered in the allergen sections below.

Burgers :

Every burger is built from a 190-calorie patty, a 180-calorie potato bun and whatever goes on top, which is why the numbers climb so regularly. Shake Shack describes the patties as Angus beef with no added hormones or antibiotics.

Single-patty burgers and specialty sandwiches :

Item	Calories	Fat	Carbs	Protein	Sodium
Single Hamburger	370	18 g	24 g	25 g	850 mg
Single Cheeseburger	440	24 g	25 g	29 g	1,200 mg

BLT	380	34 g	28 g	20 g	610 mg
Grilled Cheese	320	18 g	25 g	14 g	850 mg

Doubles and triples :

Going to a double adds roughly 190 to 260 calories, and a triple adds about the same again.

Burger	Double	Double protein	Triple	Triple protein
Hamburger	560	44 g	940	63 g
Cheeseburger	700	51 g	960	73 g
ShackBurger	760	51 g	1,020	74 g

Avocado Bacon Burger	920	59 g	1,180	81 g
Veggie Shack	910	31 g	n/a	n/a

Bun, gluten-free bun or lettuce wrap :

Shake Shack lists its lettuce wrap and gluten-free bun versions separately. Here is what the swap does.

Burger	Standard bun	Gluten-free bun	Lettuce wrap	Carbs, wrap	Protein, wrap
ShackBurger, single	500	480	330	3 g	23 g
ShackBurger, double	760	740	580	3 g	45 g
ShackBurger, triple	1,020	1,000	840	4 g	67 g
SmokeShack, single	570	not listed	430	5 g	29 g
SmokeShack, double	830	not listed	690	5 g	52 g
SmokeShack, triple	1,090	not listed	950	n/a	n/a
Avocado Bacon, single	660	not listed	430	3 g	29 g
Avocado Bacon, double	920	not listed	690	4 g	51 g
Avocado Bacon, triple	1,180	not listed	950	n/a	n/a
Chicken Shack	550	not listed	420	11 g	27 g
Veggie Shack, single	630	not listed	460	30 g	13 g

The lettuce wrap saves about 170 calories and nearly all the carbs. It also costs a few grams of protein, since the bun has some: a single ShackBurger drops from 29 g to 23 g. The Veggie Shack and Chicken Shack wraps aren’t low-carb, because the patty and breading carry the carbs.

Chicken :

The Chicken Shack has 550 calories and 33 g of protein, which is 4 g more protein than a single ShackBurger for 50 more calories. The breading and herb mayo account for most of the fat.

Item	Calories	Fat	Carbs	Protein	Sodium
Chicken Shack	550	31 g	34 g	33 g	1,170 mg
West Coast Chicken Sandwich	570	32 g	36 g	34 g	960 mg
Avocado Bacon Chicken	680	41 g	35 g	40 g	1,350 mg
Chicken Bites, 6 piece	300	18 g	28 g	18 g	980 mg
Chicken Bites, 10 piece	510	30 g	47 g	31 g	1,640 mg
Buttermilk Chicken Breast (patty only)	280	16 g	9 g	26 g	650 mg

Hot Dogs :

Shake Shack’s hot dogs are Vienna Beef on a toasted potato bun.

Item	Calories	Protein	Sodium
Garden Dog (not at every Shack)	180	8 g	1,060 mg
Hot Dog	350	16 g	800 mg

Mac & Cheese Bites	360	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
Double Down Fries (select Shacks)	1,920	120 g	164 g	39 g	3,700 mg

Cheese sauce on its own is 80 calories, but cheese fries come in 240 above plain fries because of how much sauce goes on. Take the listed total rather than adding the two numbers. Double Down Fries are built for sharing.

Sauces and Dips :

Sauce	Calories
ShackSauce	60
BBQ sauce	70
Cheese sauce	80
Herb mayonnaise	90
Secret Sauce	120
Ranch	140
Breakfast sauce	150
Honey mustard	180

BBQ sauce has no fat but 16 g of carbs, nearly all sugar. Honey mustard is the heaviest dip on the list.

Breakfast :

Breakfast sandwiches are served at select Shacks on a toasted potato bun with cage-free eggs.

Item	Calories	Protein	Sodium
Egg White Light	320	15 g	440 mg
Egg & Cheese	340	17 g	850 mg
Bacon, Egg & Cheese	430	23 g	1,010 mg

Breakfast sandwiches are served at select Shacks on a toasted potatoEach sandwich has a double-egg version that adds 20 to 90 calories. The Egg White Light barely changes (320 to 340), while the Egg & Cheese goes from 340 to 430. A plain egg is 90 calories and an egg white is 35. bun with cage-free eggs.

Shakes, Floats and Frozen Custard :

Shakes are spun from frozen custard, so even vanilla sits near 700 calories. The sugar column shows total sugars, which include the natural sugar in milk.

Shake	Calories	Fat	Sugars	Protein
Vanilla	680	36 g	71 g	18 g
Strawberry	690	35 g	75 g	17 g
Coffee (211 mg caffeine)	700	36 g	72 g	19 g

The Reese’s shake carries more than twice the sugar of a vanilla shake.

Extras: whipped cream +70, malt +90, Oreo cookie crumbs +210. Root Beer Floats are 430 calories and Creamsicle Floats are 440.

Custard cup	Single	Double
Vanilla	280	450

A large lemonade has 66 g of sugar, close to the 71 g in a vanilla shake. The Fifty-Fifty keeps the lemonade taste for about half the calories.Single-size drinks: SHACK2O water 0, Sparkling Shack2O Water (calories not listed), drip coffee 5, cold brew 5, Organic Apple Juice Drink 40, orange juice (8 oz) 110.
A large lemonade has 66 g of sugar, close to the 71 g in a vanilla shake. The Fifty-Fifty keeps the lemonade taste for about half the calories.

Beer, Wine and Cocktails :

Where alcohol is served, the sheet lists it too. A 12 oz Brooklyn ShackMeister Ale is 160 calories and a 6 oz pour of Shack White or Shack Red is 140 or 150. Cocktails run higher: a Patrón Shackarita is 260 and a Boozy Frozen Lemonade is 290. The boozy shakes are dessert territory, with the Boozy Espresso Shake at 780 and the Bourbon Peaches & Cream Shake at 880. Alcohol isn’t sold at every Shack, and the beer list is marked as containing wheat and gluten.

Family Deal Boxes :

Large boxes are made for offices, parties and family meals. The calories below are per serving.

Item	Calories (per serving)
ShackBurger Box – 12 Servings	500
Crinkle Cut Box – 12 Servings	470
Onion Ring Box – 6 Servings	640
Chicken Shack Box – 12 Servings	550
Veggie Shack Box – 12 Servings	630
SmokeShack Box – 12 Servings	600
Cheeseburger Box – 12 Servings	440
Hamburger Box – 12 Servings	370
‘Shroom Burger Box – 12 Servings	510
Chicken Bites Box – 12 Servings	420

Dog Treats :

The Bag O’ Bones and the Pooch-ini are made for dogs, not people. Availability can vary by Shack, so check the local menu before you visit.

Sodium, Sugar and Carbs: What the Numbers Mean

Calories get the attention, but sodium is the number that surprises people. The FDA daily value is 2,300 mg.

Item	Sodium	Share of daily value
‘Shroom Burger	670 mg	about 29%
Single Hamburger	850 mg	about 37%
Single ShackBurger	1,250 mg	about 54%
Veggie Shack (single)	1,630 mg	about 71%
Double ShackBurger	2,280 mg	about 99%
Big Shack	2,860 mg	about 124%

Two things stand out. A double ShackBurger uses up nearly the whole day’s sodium by itself. And the Veggie Shack has more sodium than a ShackBurger, so meatless doesn’t mean lighter on salt. The ‘Shroom Burger has the least of any sandwich here.
On sugar, the shake figures are total sugars, so they can’t be compared directly with the FDA’s 50 g daily value for added sugars. They do show how sweet a cup is: 69 to 86 g for the classics.
On carbs, the side usually matters more than the burger. A single ShackBurger has 26 g and regular fries have 63 g.

Shake Shack Allergen Chart

Shake Shack’s sheet lists the major allergens for each item: milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame, peanut, tree nuts and fish. Most of them come from a few components, so it’s quicker to learn those first.

Allergens by Ingredient :

Component	Allergens listed
Potato bun and potato roll	Milk, wheat, sesame
Beef patty	None listed
Gluten-free bun	None listed
American cheese	Milk, soy
ShackSauce, Secret Sauce, honey mustard	Egg
Herb mayonnaise, ranch	Milk, egg
Cheese sauce, whipped cream	Milk
Crispy onions	Milk, wheat
Veggie patty	Wheat, soy
Buttermilk chicken breast	Milk, wheat
Malt	Wheat
Oreo cookie crumbs	Wheat, soy
BBQ sauce	None listed

Allergens by Menu Item :

Item	Allergens listed
Single Hamburger	Milk, wheat, sesame
Single Cheeseburger	Milk, wheat, soy, sesame
Single Bacon Cheeseburger	Milk, wheat, soy, sesame
Single ShackBurger	Milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame
Single SmokeShack, Avocado Bacon Burger	Milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame
‘Shroom Burger	Milk, egg, wheat, sesame
Veggie Shack	Milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame
BLT	Milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame
Grilled Cheese	Milk, wheat, soy, sesame
ShackBurger on gluten-free bun or in lettuce wrap	Milk, egg, soy
Chicken Shack	Milk, egg, wheat, sesame
Chicken Shack lettuce wrap	Milk, egg, wheat
Chicken Bites	Wheat
Hot Dog, Garden Dog	Milk, wheat, sesame
Regular fries	None listed
Cheese fries	Milk
Spicy fries with ranch	Milk, egg
Onion rings	Milk, wheat
Mac & cheese	Milk, egg, wheat
Egg & Cheese sandwich	Milk, egg, wheat, soy, sesame
Croissant	Egg, milk, wheat
Hashbrowns with sauce	Egg
Classic shakes, floats, custard	Milk, egg
Cookies & Cream Shake	Milk, egg, wheat, soy
Lemonade, iced tea, sodas	None listed

A few patterns help:

A plain hamburger has no egg or soy. Those arrive with the cheese and the ShackSauce.
The Chicken Shack’s egg appears to come from the herb mayo, not the breading. Chicken Bites list wheat only.
Taking away the bun removes sesame and, for the ShackBurger, wheat as well.
The ‘Shroom Burger lists no soy, even though most other burgers do.

Egg, Soy, Sesame, Peanut, Tree Nut and Fish :

Egg sits in the sauces (ShackSauce, Secret Sauce, honey mustard, breakfast sauce, herb mayo, ranch), in all custard and shakes, and in the egg breakfast items. A hamburger, cheeseburger, Grilled Cheese, hot dog, Chicken Bites and plain fries list no egg.
Soy comes mainly from American cheese, the veggie patty and Oreo pieces. One allergy-focused guide that follows Shake Shack closely also reports that the company discloses soy oil for frying its fries. Highly refined soybean oil is generally not treated as an allergen, but if you react to it, ask your Shack what’s in the fryer.
Sesame is in the potato bun and roll, which means nearly every bun-based sandwich and every hot dog. The gluten-free bun, lettuce wraps, Chicken Bites, fries and shakes list none.
Peanut appears on the sheet only for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Shake. Core burgers, fries and classic shakes list no peanut ingredient, but a list of ingredients isn’t a promise of a peanut-free kitchen.
Tree nuts aren’t an ingredient in the core menu. The sheet does warn that cross-contact with tree nuts may be possible in every shake because of limited-time flavors. One cocktail, the RBI Mai Tai, lists tree nut as an ingredient.
Fish isn’t on the core menu.

Cross-Contact and the Fryer :

The sheet lists ingredients. It doesn’t describe how the kitchen works, and that’s where most real-world problems start.

Fries are the clearest case. They list no allergens, yet diners with celiac disease regularly report that their Shack cooks fries in a fryer shared with breaded chicken and onion rings, which contain wheat and milk. Reports differ from location to location: some people describe a dedicated fryer, others describe a shared one, and one reviewer says the oil is filtered through equipment that also handles breaded items. That’s the reason to ask at your own Shack instead of relying on what someone else saw at theirs.

Other places cross-contact can happen:

Buns. An allergy guide reports that regular buns are toasted with butter, so ask for no butter if you’re ordering a gluten-free bun for a milk allergy.
The shake station. Mix-ins such as Oreo pieces, malt and seasonal toppings are handled at the same station as every shake, which is why the tree nut warning covers all of them.
Shared surfaces. Grills, prep areas and condiment stations are shared in an open kitchen.

How to Order With a Food Allergy :

1. Say “allergy” instead of “I’d prefer.” It changes how the team handles the order.
2. Order at the counter or kiosk when you can. Delivery apps make it hard to flag an allergy.
3. Ask specific questions, such as “Are the fries cooked in the same oil as the chicken?”
4. Ask for fresh gloves and clean utensils.
5. If you can’t get a clear answer, skip that item.

Is Shake Shack Gluten-Free?

Shake Shack isn’t a gluten-free restaurant and doesn’t claim to be, but beef burgers are easy to order without wheat.

What works by ingredient:

Any beef burger on the gluten-free bun (160 calories) or in a lettuce wrap. The calories for each are in the bun, gluten-free bun and lettuce wrap table above. For burgers that aren’t listed there, expect the gluten-free bun to be about 20 calories lighter than the potato bun (160 against 180).
Hot dogs without the bun. The Hot Dog, Cheese Dog and Bacon Cheese Dog patties are beef, and the bun is what carries the wheat. Allergy guides report that Shacks will serve a dog in a lettuce wrap; confirm it at yours.
Regular fries and cheese fries, by ingredient only (see the fryer section above).
ShackSauce, BBQ sauce, lemonade, iced tea and sodas.
Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coffee and black & white shakes list milk and egg only.

What works by ingredient:

All potato buns and rolls.
The Chicken Shack and Chicken Bites, including the lettuce-wrap Chicken Shack, because the breading is the source.
The ‘Shroom Burger and both Veggie Shack sizes, even in a lettuce wrap.
Onion rings, crispy onions and the mac & cheese (panko).
Malt, Oreo crumbs and the Cookies & Cream Shake.
Croissants, the danish and monkey bread.
Beer.

For celiac disease:

A 2021 pilot study in Frontiers in Nutrition bought fries from ten restaurants that all confirmed their fryers also cooked wheat foods. Gluten turned up in some of the orders, with the amount depending on the test used. That’s a small study, not a verdict on Shake Shack, but it’s why many celiac guides advise skipping shared-fryer fries. Burgers on a gluten-free bun or in a lettuce wrap are the lower-risk choice. Ask whether the team will change gloves and prep separately.v

Dairy-Free Options

Dairy shows up in more places than most people expect. The potato bun has it, along with American cheese, cheese sauce, ranch, herb mayo, crispy onions, the ‘Shroom patty, the buttermilk chicken and every shake, float and custard.

That means there’s no dairy-free sandwich on the menu, but you can build one:

A hamburger on a gluten-free bun or in a lettuce wrap, no cheese. The patty and the usual toppings list no milk. This is a custom order, so confirm it with the team.
A hamburger with bacon the same way, or a hot dog in a lettuce wrap.
Regular fries and BBQ sauce. Fries list no milk, but skip the cheese sauce and ask that nobody sprinkles parmesan on them.
Lemonade, iced tea, sodas and water.

Egg is a separate allergen. ShackSauce contains egg, so ask for BBQ sauce, mustard or no sauce if you’re avoiding both.

What works by ingredient:

All potato buns and rolls.
The Chicken Shack and Chicken Bites, including the lettuce-wrap Chicken Shack, because the breading is the source.
The ‘Shroom Burger and both Veggie Shack sizes, even in a lettuce wrap.
Onion rings, crispy onions and the mac & cheese (panko).
Malt, Oreo crumbs and the Cookies & Cream Shake.
Croissants, the danish and monkey bread.
Beer.

A note on dairy-free shakes. Shake Shack sold a non-dairy chocolate shake and custard in the U.S. for a while. According to Go Dairy Free’s July 2026 update, both have been discontinued. Some websites still list them, so don’t plan an order around them. As things stand there’s no dairy-free dessert on the sheet, and whipped cream always contains milk.

Vegetarian and Vegan Options

Vegetarian :

Shake Shack has real vegetarian choices, though none of them are light.

Item	Calories	Protein	Sodium
Garden Dog (not at every Shack)	180	8 g	1,060 mg
Grilled Cheese	320	14 g	850 mg
‘Shroom Burger	510	18 g	670 mg
Veggie Shack (single)	630	20 g	1,630 mg

The ‘Shroom Burger is a crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with cheese, and it’s the lowest-sodium sandwich on the menu. The Veggie Shack is a patty made with wheat and soy. Fries, cheese fries, onion rings, mac & cheese, egg breakfast sandwiches, hashbrowns and shakes are also meat-free. The sheet tracks allergens, not cooking methods, so ask about shared grills or fryers if strict vegetarianism matters to you.

Vegan :

Vegan is the hard one. No menu item is labeled vegan, every standard bun contains milk, and there’s currently no vegan shake. What’s left comes from custom orders:

Veggie Shack, modified: gluten-free bun or lettuce wrap, no cheese, no crispy onions, and a vegan sauce in place of ShackSauce. The patty lists wheat and soy but no milk or egg.
Garden Dog in a lettuce wrap, where available.
Plain hashbrowns. The extra hashbrowns list no allergens, though the version with sauce contains egg.
Regular fries, if you’re comfortable with the fryer.
Sauces: BBQ sauce, mustard and relish are the usual picks. Check the BBQ sauce for honey, since the sheet doesn’t say.
Drinks: lemonade, iced tea, sodas and water.

These vegan builds come from the sheet plus what allergy-focused guides report, not from a Shake Shack vegan list. Confirm with the team, especially for toppings and cooking surfaces.

Low-Carb and High-Protein Orders

Low-Carb :

A lettuce-wrapped beef burger is the low-carb order: a single ShackBurger wrap has 3 g of carbs, a single SmokeShack wrap has 5 g and a single Avocado Bacon wrap has 3 g (see the bun table above). Skip the fries, which have 63 g, and the shake, which has 69 to 86 g of sugar. Whether that fits a strict low-carb or keto plan depends on your own targets.

High-Protein :

For protein, plain beef does the work. Cheese and sauce add fat, not much protein, so a simple hamburger beats a ShackBurger on protein per calorie.

Item	Protein	Calories	Protein per 100 calories
ShackBurger Triple, lettuce wrap	67 g	840	8.0 g
Double Hamburger	44 g	560	7.9 g
ShackBurger Double, lettuce wrap	45 g	580	7.8 g
SmokeShack Double, lettuce wrap	52 g	690	7.5 g
Single Hamburger	25 g	370	6.8 g
Double ShackBurger	51 g	760	6.7 g
Triple Hamburger	63 g	940	6.7 g
Chicken Shack	33 g	550	6.0 g

Lighter Orders

“Healthy” depends on what you’re tracking, so here are the levers by goal.

Lowest overall: Garden Dog (180), a single vanilla custard cup (280), Grilled Cheese (320), Egg White Light (320).
Lowest-calorie burger: the single Hamburger (370) or a ShackBurger lettuce wrap (330).
Easy swaps: single instead of double saves 190 to 260; a custard cup instead of a shake saves about 400; a small Fifty-Fifty instead of a small lemonade saves 80; skipping cheese saves 70.

The meal around the burger matters more than the burger. A single Hamburger with water and a double ShackBurger with cheese fries and a shake are two very different lunches.

FAQs

A single ShackBurger is 500 calories, a double is 760 and a triple is 1,020. In a lettuce wrap, the single drops to 330.

The Double Down Fries (1,920, select Shacks) and the Reese’s Peanut Butter Shake (1,900) are the heaviest items. Among regular burgers, the triple Avocado Bacon Burger leads at 1,180.

The Garden Dog at 180 calories, where it’s sold. At every Shack, the lightest sandwich is the single Hamburger at 370, or 330 for a ShackBurger in a lettuce wrap.

Yes. Cheese is 70 calories and ShackSauce is 60, so removing both takes a ShackBurger from 500 to about 370. The calculator section shows the math.

Not necessarily. Shake Shack’s UK site, for example, keeps its own allergen and nutrition pages. Menus, recipes and suppliers differ by country, so use the guide for the country you’re in.
