Carl's Jr Low Carb It — Secret Menu Hack

Carl's Jr Low Carb It is the go-to hack for anyone cutting carbs: it turns any burger into a lettuce-wrapped burger, swapping the bun for a wrap of crisp lettuce. Carl's Jr has long promoted lettuce-wrapped options as part of its lighter-menu messaging, so Carl's Jr Low Carb It is one of the more widely recognized hacks — many crew members will know exactly what you mean, and it's typically a free swap.

To order Carl's Jr Low Carb It, choose your burger and ask them to "Low Carb It," which means no bun, wrapped in lettuce instead. This keeps the charbroiled patty, cheese, and toppings while dropping the bread. Because it's a straight swap with no added ingredients, there's usually no extra charge — you pay the base burger price.

Is Low Carb It worth it?
