Five Guys UK: Little or regular burger—and which fries?
Little Hamburger lists 464 kcal and 24 g protein; Hamburger lists 678 kcal and 42 g. The fries portion is a separate decision: Mini and Little Fries differ by 309 kcal.
“Little” describes the burger build
The official UK ordering menu identifies one beef patty in the Little Hamburger and two in the Hamburger. Their published finished-order nutrition is 464 kcal and 24 g protein for Little, versus 678 kcal and 42 g protein for Hamburger.
| Order and portion | kcal | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) | Salt (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Hamburger1 published source portion | 464 | 24 | 35 | 24 | 0.99 |
| Hamburger1 published source portion | 678 | 42 | 35 | 39 | 1.14 |
| Little Cheeseburger1 published source portion | 512 | 27 | 39 | 27 | 1.72 |
| Cheeseburger1 published source portion | 811 | 50 | 39 | 49 | 3.01 |
Use the whole row, not a guessed patty subtraction
The named burgers differ by 214 kcal and 18 g protein in the source. That is the comparison to use for these finished orders. The guide also contains separate ingredient entries, but adding or subtracting them may not reproduce the independently rounded whole-burger rows. Do not “correct” the restaurant’s total by silently rebuilding it.
Little Cheeseburger is 512 kcal and 27 g protein; Cheeseburger is 811 kcal and 50 g protein. The difference between the cheese versions is 299 kcal, so you cannot apply one universal “Little” calorie reduction to every burger name.
The fries choice can outweigh the burger change
Mini Fries list 350 kcal and 5 g protein; Little Fries list 659 kcal and 10 g protein. With the same Little Hamburger, those selected food totals are 814 kcal and 29 g protein, or 1,123 kcal and 34 g protein.
| Order and portion | kcal | Protein (g) | Carbs (g) | Fat (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little Hamburger + Mini Fries1 named burger + 1 Mini Fries | 814 | 29 | 72 | 45 |
| Little Hamburger + Little Fries1 named burger + 1 Little Fries | 1123 | 34 | 105 | 63 |
The 309 kcal difference between these fries portions is larger than the 214 kcal difference between the Little Hamburger and Hamburger. That is why looking only at the burger can miss a bigger change in your actual order.
What toppings are included?
These calculations retain the whole named burger row and do not add optional toppings. A requested sauce, cheese change or extra bacon needs its own supported entry and serving. Free toppings are not necessarily zero in nutrition.
Keep the UK guide attached
The source is the official UK guide dated 13 October 2026. It does not establish U.S. or Canadian formulations, local prices, or exact bag weights on a particular visit. If you share fries, use the fraction actually eaten as an estimate; the named portion is not proof of each person’s share.
