In-N-Out Double-Double Calories: Why It's Everyone's Default Order

An In-N-Out Double-Double with onion is 610 calories and 34g of protein (In-N-Out, January 2026). The official row also lists 34g of fat, 42g of carbs, and 1,670mg of sodium. With mustard and ketchup instead of spread, the official row is 550 calories, with protein unchanged.

Why the Double-Double is the easy, common default order

Nothing epitomizes a good burger better than the In-N-Out Double-Double. The order is classic, easy to order, and delicious and nutritious. When I was in high school, I'd hear that guys on the football team or baseball team would be bulking with two Double-Doubles, no fries. The order easily maximizes protein, was easy to remember to order even if you were going out to eat with your family, and more specifically, was cheap. Unlike other good burgers that I love like Shake Shack, the In-N-Out Double-Double brings quality at a good value. Although the protein count is decent for the Double-Double, once you expand off the menu to eliminate the bun through ordering off the secret menu and getting a protein style version or single patties, the entire experience of hitting your goals while eating out at In-N-Out changes. Growing up in Southern California, In-N-Out is irreplaceable in my rotation especially as it continues to have options for everybody.

Official Double-Double numbers

The Double-Double is In-N-Out’s two-patty, two-slice cheeseburger: bun, two 100% beef patties, lettuce, tomato, spread, and two slices of American cheese, with or without onions (In-N-Out’s ingredient note, January 2026). The official nutrition chart publishes a standard row with onion and a mustard & ketchup instead of spread row. For the rest of the menu, see In-N-Out calories.

All figures below are from In-N-Out’s January 2026 nutrition chart. This table is the full official Double-Double row, plus the official mustard & ketchup instead of spread row.

A Double-Double plus a regular order of fries is 970 calories and 40g of protein. That is an Eatery calculation: official Double-Double with onion (610 calories, 34g protein) plus official French Fries (360 calories, 6g protein). Fries and shake nutrition stay on the In-N-Out calories hub. This page does not have a fries or shake section.

How it compares with the Cheeseburger and Hamburger

These are the official bun rows with onion. Protein per 100 calories is an Eatery calculation (official protein ÷ official calories × 100), rounded to two decimal places.

Compared with the Cheeseburger, the Double-Double has 180 more calories and 14g more protein (610 − 430 and 34 − 20). Compared with the Hamburger, it has 250 more calories and 18g more protein (610 − 360 and 34 − 16). Those differences are Eatery calculations from the official rows. Of the three official bun burgers, the Double-Double has both the most protein in total (34g) and the most protein per 100 calories (5.57g).

Mods that change the numbers

The only Double-Double modifier In-N-Out publishes as its own nutrition row, besides Protein Style, is mustard & ketchup instead of spread. That official row (January 2026, rechecked November 14, 2026, America/Los_Angeles):

In-N-Out also publishes mustard & ketchup instead of spread rows for the Hamburger and Cheeseburger. Those stay on the In-N-Out calories hub.

You can also ask for other common mods. The January 2026 official chart does not publish nutrition rows for them, so this page does not attach calories or protein:

• No spread. This is not the same as mustard & ketchup instead of spread.
• Mustard-grilled / mustard-cooked patties.
• Onions. The official burger rows used in this article are labeled w/ onion. The ingredient notes say a burger can come with or without onions, but In-N-Out does not publish a separate without-onion row on this chart. Grilled onions also have no row on this chart. You can still ask for either.

For 3×3, 4×4, Animal Style, and other off-menu builds, see In-N-Out secret menu nutrition. This page does not publish those numbers.

A Protein Style Double-Double is 460 calories and 30g of protein; see Protein Style calories for the lettuce-wrap numbers.
