About Sonic cheeseburger
The Sonic Cheeseburger is a fast-food item offered by Sonic Drive-In, a chain originating in the United States. It consists of a beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayonnaise, and ketchup, served on a sesame seed bun. Cheeseburgers are a staple of American cuisine, typically high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium due to the combination of processed cheese, beef, and condiments. While they provide protein and some essential nutrients such as iron, the high amount of calories and saturated fats can contribute to excessive calorie intake if consumed regularly.
Health Benefits
- Provides protein (approximately 28g per serving) essential for muscle repair and growth.
- Rich in iron from the beef patty, which supports red blood cell production and oxygen transport.
- Contains calcium from the cheese, which helps maintain strong bones and teeth.
