Hitting your fitness macros while eating out can be tricky. Fortunately, since Shake Shack griddles real Angus beef, whole muscle cage free chicken, and fresh eggs, it is actually a gold mine for high quality protein. Whether you are looking for a post workout recovery boost or a high protein cheat meal, these griddle hacks have you covered.

The Double Patty Burger Boost

Ordering a double patty is the easiest macro upgrade. A standard Double ShackBurger packs an exceptional 53 grams of protein! If you are watching carbs and fat order your double cheeseburger lettuce wrapped (Protein Style) to retain all 53g of protein while slashing carbs down to just 3g.

Crispy Whole Muscle Chicken

Whole muscle chicken breast is naturally protein dense. The Chicken Shack sandwich offers a stellar 32g of protein. Even better, our 10-piece Crispy Chicken Bites deliver a massive 47g of high quality muscle building protein.
