Texas fastfood company, Whataburger, has released a new menu that goes into effect on July 3.

The new menu, which includes new prices, also includes a 550 Calories or Less section of lower-calorie items.

Whataburger states their menu will be rearranged and simplified in categories for Burgers, Chicken and Breakfast to accommodate new menu items, and will also include an All-Time Favorites section.

“We think our customers will be extremely pleased with the new menu items we’ve added, and we redesigned our menu boards to accommodate these additions,” said Whataburger Group Director of Marketing and Innovation Rich Scheffler. “The new menu is easier to navigate and provides more variety for our customers.”

Whataburger will introduce two new salads as part of the new menu: an Apple & Cranberry Chicken Salad made with romaine lettuce, dried cranberries, fresh apples and shredded cheddar cheese, topped with grilled chicken or a Whatachick’n Filet, and a classic Garden Salad. Adding to its lineup of salad dressings, the restaurant will begin offering Low-Fat Honey Pepper Vinaigrette and Low-Fat Herb Vinaigrette to complement its new salads.

The Grilled Chicken Melt – a grilled chicken sandwich topped with grilled onions, poblano and red bell peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese – will also be added to Whataburger’s menu, and a Grilled Cheese on Texas Toast will be available as a kid’s meal option.

The new 550 Calories or Less section includes the following items:
• Whataburger Jr. with Bacon & Cheese, 400 calories
• Double Meat Whataburger Jr. with Cheese, 470 calories
• New Grilled Chicken Melt, 460 calories
• Grilled Chicken Sandwich, 510 calories
• Chicken Fajita Taco, 420 calories
• Whatacatch Sandwich, 450 calories

Whataburger breakfast choices under 550 calories include:
• Cinnamon Roll, 390 calories
• Bacon & Egg Taquito, 380 calories
• Bacon or Sausage Biscuit, 350 to 540 calories
• Egg & Cheese Biscuit, 450 calories
• Biscuit & Jelly, 340 calories

“Our new ‘550 Calories or Less’ menu provides guests more options without compromising the big flavor Whataburger is known for,” said Scheffler. “We understand many of our customers want to make lighter choices when they eat out, and we strive to provide the highest quality, freshest ingredients to make their selection easy.”
