Quantity
What is it?
The Bacon King is Burger King's heavyweight: two quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patties, several strips of thick-cut smoked bacon, two slices of American cheese, ketchup and mayonnaise on a sesame bun. It launched in the United States in 2016.
Aimed squarely at big appetites, it is a common order on American road trips, where a sweltering Texas summer afternoon near 35°C does little to shrink portion sizes. It carries roughly double the beef of a Whopper.
Each bite is smoky, salty and very rich. The bacon adds crunch against the soft cheese, and the sheer height makes it hard to eat neatly.

Real-World Test
Late night at the Mong Kok Burger King, around 29°C, after my hiking test. It was extremely salty and heavy, and I could only finish half. I felt full until the next morning, and the walk to undo it took most of the following day. We keep 1200 kcal because that is what the Burger King USA Nov 2022 nutrition PDF lists.
