What is in a Small burger?
A one-eighth-pound char-grilled patty and bun. The official nutrition guide lists 245 calories, 8 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 37 mg of cholesterol, 309 mg of sodium, 27 grams of carbs and 14 grams of protein. The 27 grams of carbs account for 108 of its 245 calories.
Why does the Small anchor the Jr. Tray?
Because it is the smallest of the tray mains. The Jr. Tray's main list starts with the Small Burger, then offers two chicken strips, two corn dogs, the BLT, one hot dog or a single quesadilla. The Small is the lightest of those mains, with 245 calories to the hot dog's 260 and the strips' 440.
| Jr. Tray main | Calories |
|---|---|
| Small Burger | 245 |
| 1 Hot Dog | 260 |
| BLT Sandwich | 392 |
| 2 Chicken Strips | 440 |
| 2 Corn Dogs | 440 |
What does the Jr. Tray save?
At October 2026 menu prices, a Small Burger ($2.99), Regular Fries ($2.39), Hushpuppies ($1.99) and a regular Coca-Cola ($2.19) cost $9.56 bought separately.

The lightest version, with onion rings twice, is 501.
