I love a big juicy cheeseburger, I love bacon & eggs but you don't have to give up all the things you love & enjoy. There are ways to reduce the calories and still eat the things you love.
Indulge! Just follow these easy rules to build a tasty burger for only 400 calories—the perfect amount per meal to help control portions and lose weight.
Veggies
Choose darker hues. The deeper the color, the more nutrients they pack. Pile them high since they're so low in calories, and opt for spinach over iceberg and red bell peppers instead of yellow for more vitamin A. More smart picks: red onion, pickles, tomatoes and jalapeños.
Cheese
Shred it. That way, the cheese spreads out more easily so you can use less for just as much flavor. A thumb-size portion (about 2 tablespoons) is 50 calories.
Meat
Buy lean beef. It has the same calories as turkey but is slightly higher in iron and zinc. Choose 95 percent lean (5 percent fat) and keep your patty to a 3-ounce, hockey-puck size—about 145 calories. Every 5 percent jump in fat adds about 30 calories.
