What is in the Double Whopper

Everything about the Double Whopper is the regular Whopper, doubled where it counts. Two quarter-pound beef patties come off the flame grill with the same smoky char, stacked with mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, crinkle-cut pickles, ketchup, and sliced onion inside the familiar toasted sesame seed bun. The extra patty changes the whole balance of the burger: where the regular Whopper is a balanced mix of beef and toppings, the Double is unapologetically about the meat.

At 980 calories, this is a serious amount of food. The 56 grams of protein is the standout number, roughly what many people eat in an entire day, delivered in a single burger. It is the kind of order that replaces a meal entirely rather than fitting into one. People who lift, people who skipped lunch, and people who just love a big burger all land here for the same reason: it gets the job done.

The price math is part of the appeal. At from $6.79, the Double Whopper costs roughly a dollar more than the regular Whopper while adding 270 calories and 22 grams of protein. On a per-dollar basis, the second patty is one of the cheapest protein upgrades in fast food.

Double Whopper nutrition facts

Full nutrition breakdown for one Double Whopper, based on Burger King’s official US nutrition data as reported by 2026-updated nutrition databases.

Nutrient	Amount per Double Whopper
Calories	980
Total fat	62g
Total carbohydrates	57g
Protein	56g
Sodium	1320mg

The numbers are big in every column. Nine hundred eighty calories is about half of a 2000-calorie day in one item, and 62 grams of fat deserves respect even from people who are not counting. The 56 grams of protein is genuinely impressive and explains why the Double Whopper has a loyal following among people who track their macros. Sodium at 1320 mg is well over half the daily guideline, so pairing this burger with fries and a soda turns one meal into nearly a full day of sodium.

Compared with other double burgers in fast food, the Double Whopper sits near the top of the calorie range, mostly because of the generous mayo and the full-size vegetable load. The vegetables do add bulk without many calories, which is why the Double feels enormous without crossing into four-digit calories the way some bacon-stacked competitors do.

Double Whopper ingredients and customization

The standard build is two flame-grilled beef patties, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, onion, and a sesame seed bun. Customization is free and encouraged. The single most effective tweak is holding the mayo, which strips out a large share of the fat and roughly 200 calories across the double portion, bringing the burger down into the high 700s while keeping both patties. Dropping the ketchup as well saves a little sugar on top.

If you want to go lighter still without giving up the double-patty experience, order it with no mayo and extra vegetables. The burger stays huge and satisfying, and the calorie count lands in much more manageable territory. On the indulgent side, adding cheese runs about 70 calories a slice, and bacon pushes the total comfortably past 1100 calories, so stack deliberately.

One practical note: this is a tall burger. If you are eating on the go, asking for it cut in half or just taking a breath between halves makes the whole thing more manageable. The bun holds up well, but two patties plus full toppings is a structural challenge by the last few bites.

Allergens

The Double Whopper contains wheat and gluten (sesame seed bun), sesame (bun topping), soy (ingredients in the bun and condiments), and egg (mayonnaise). Anyone with a gluten, sesame, egg, or soy allergy should take care. The beef patties are just beef, but Burger King kitchens handle many allergens and the grill is shared, so cross-contact is possible even on a customized order. Always check with the restaurant if you have a serious allergy.

Double Whopper vs Whopper

The regular Whopper is 710 calories with 34 grams of protein from $5.69. The Double Whopper is 980 calories with 56 grams of protein from $6.79. The difference is exactly one extra quarter-pound patty and a little extra mayo, and it costs roughly a dollar.

Choose the regular Whopper for an everyday burger that satisfies without dominating the day’s calories. Choose the Double when you are properly hungry, when this burger is the whole meal, or when protein per dollar is the priority, because 56 grams of protein at this price is hard to beat anywhere in fast food. There is no wrong answer; it is purely a question of appetite.

Getting the best value on the Double Whopper

• At from $6.79, the Double Whopper delivers 980 calories and 56 grams of protein, which makes it one of the best protein-per-dollar deals on the entire Burger King menu.
• The Double Whopper meal adds medium fries and a drink. The bundle price beats buying the three items separately, but be aware the full meal lands around 1500 calories.
• The Burger King app is where the deals live. Double Whopper coupons, app-only bundles, and Royal Perks offers rotate constantly, and a few seconds of checking can save real money.
• Since the burger alone is nearly 1000 calories, skipping the fries and pairing it with a water or diet drink is the easiest way to keep the meal from doubling in calories. The burger is the event; the sides are optional.
