The Holiday Insights Page has found no documentation of the origin of the annual celebration on September 18th. But Hungry Girl, a website associated with Weight Watchers has done some research, andOh gosh!
Cheeseburgers come with a wide assortment of nutritional values. A cheeseburger, of course, has a hamburger patty, but --according to Hungry Girl, anyway-- all cheeseburgers are not born equal.
Wendy's Junior Cheeseburger comes in the low-fat winner: 370 calories, and 12g fat. (If they really like you and they're not too busy, they will make a "W" with the mustard.)
Hungry Girl is deeply grieved by McDonald's 1/3 pound Angusburger with cheese: 750 calories, 40g fat.
McD's were far more pro-nutrition in the past, says Hungry Girl.
Hardees 2/3 pound Monster Thickburger: 1420 calories, and 108g fat. Its 60 grams of protein is hardly an excuse.
It should be possible to make your own hamburger at home with easily far less fat, and considerably less calories. Grill a 95% or better lean patty on your George Foreman Lean Machine (or similar) grill, put on a slice of low-fat colby or swiss cheese, use a reasonable amount of fat-free or low fat mayonnaise, a little steak sauce or ketchup (don't go overboard), and you've got a cheeseburger that probably comes close to the Wendy's Junior Cheeseburger minimum. (The JC, I must say, has a really small patty, though it's satisfactory for a quick snack.)Ray Cotes discusses the true cost of a cheeseburger on his page.
