    Order the regular cheese burger or double cheeses burger. $1.89, or $2.49 I think.
    Than add additional 1:9 patties for about .79 or so each. You can get a big burger for cheap like $4.00 ball park.
    If you fuel at loves a lot they offer the best points for fuel right now with there points levels. So that is a bonus.

    No try about 6 paties in all. That's not tiny. When a regular quarter pound burger is almost $5 Any where you go.

    You can add $20,000 to that cost for stents in a couple of years. All that hamburger grease tends to plug things up.

    I am speaking from experience. All my years of ####ty diet and eating at McDonald’s/Hardees/etc. have caught up with me. I’m only 53 and not a big fat guy by any means.

    As the saying goes... “You live by the hamburger, you die by the hamburger.” Lol

    When I think it over a bit. If rather eat a burger or two, than a fry order or two. But neither one has much nutritional value.
    Honestly my thinking is if truck stops gave a #### they would offer fresh produce, and a choice of fresh meat. And stop only selling items that plug into a 12v outlet. Further thought is there would be a planet fitness on site at every truck stop. I am a big guy. I would like more options.
    An otr truck should have a standup fridge with near regular size freezer so you can fit more than 3 days of fresh food in the fridge. And could have meat on hand to grill, or put in a crock.

    I have one of those two door Frigidaire 3.1 cubic foot fridges from Lowes. It holds 7 frozen meals (nothing but Healthy Choice Chicken & Broccoli for me, lol). In the freezer door, I keep two bags of blueberries.

    When I was eating Stouffer’s, it would hold about 7 days worth of those too.

    The fridge part is way bigger than I need. I only keep milk, orange juice and apples.

    I am not a fan of microwaves. I'd rather eat raw food. Which I do sometimes. Hummus on a tortilla.
