In-N-Out Low-Sodium Menu: All Food and Drink Options

Those following a low-sodium diet likely already expect limited options at burger-focused fast-food restaurants. While some chains offer a few lower-sodium choices, In-N-Out’s menu is famously short and simple, leaving very little room for low-sodium meals.

Because In-N-Out focuses on a small number of core items—hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, and a few beverages—finding a genuinely low-sodium food option is difficult. Processed beef, cheese, condiments, and buns all contribute to high sodium levels, and the chain does not offer salads or many alternative sides that could be lower in sodium.

Low sodium food and drink choices on the In-N-Out menu

Even ordering modifications like “protein-style,” which replaces the bun with lettuce, will reduce sodium only to a limited extent. The FDA defines a low-sodium item as 140 mg of sodium or less, and most In-N-Out food items exceed that threshold. The lowest-sodium food on the menu is the French fries, which contain about 150 mg of sodium per serving—just above the low-sodium cutoff—so they may be a lower-sodium snack option in moderation but do not technically qualify.

While you won’t find a full low-sodium meal at In-N-Out, beverages are a better option. Most medium-sized drinks on the In-N-Out menu contain less than 85 mg of sodium, making them fall well under the FDA’s 140 mg limit for a low-sodium item. Unsweetened iced tea and coffee are naturally very low in sodium, and several lemonades and sodas on the menu also have modest sodium amounts. Milkshakes, hot cocoa, and milk contain more sodium than those drinks and do not reach the low-sodium threshold, though they are still lower in sodium than the food items.

Below is the list of In-N-Out menu beverages that meet the low-sodium definition for the sizes indicated.
