The chain's own nutrition and allergen chart lists a hamburger patty at 302 calories and 16g of protein, the bun at 240 calories and 39g of carbs, and every vegetable topping as free. So the fastest way to change your macros here is to change the build: drop the bun, skip the fries, or add a second patty.

Five Guys lists its bun ingredients as water, salt, sugar, vegetable shortening (contains soy), milk, eggs, bleached bread flour, yeast and sesame seeds.
Five Guys states its fries contain no gluten: the potatoes are freshly cut, soaked in water and fried only in refined peanut oil, in fryers that cook nothing else. It also states its bread contains gluten, that there is always a risk of cross-contamination, and that guests with a gluten allergy should tell the cashier so the crew can change gloves more frequently.
Five Guys states no MSG is added to its burgers, hot dogs, fries, seasonings or condiments, and that salt and Cajun seasoning are the only seasonings offered in its restaurants.
Five Guys is surfaced in Forkiee through GPS-based nearby discovery. Once a location loads, every dish is scored against your goal and diet (calorie target, macros, gluten-free, keto, vegan, the FDA Big 9 allergens), so the best-match orders rise to the top.
