Free Diet Dinner Menu #8 - Choose & Lose Diet Plan

Hank's Homemade Hamburgers

The hamburger is so-often given an unfair wrap because it can be ultra high in calories and fat - particularly those fast food burger recipes. When extra lean beef enters the picture - a Diet Creation springs forth - which is what we tried to accomplish in our Hank's Homemade Hamburgers diet recipe.

Enjoy the following for about 450 calories:

1 cooked hamburger patty using extra lean beef (110 calories)

1 slice of 60-calorie cheese

2 slices of whole tomato

Lettuce - any variety

Raw onion slices

1 small hamburger bun, whole grain if possible (110 calories)

1 tablespoon of Miracle Whip Light salad dressing OR opt for mustard

1 small potato peeled and cut into fries; use non-stick cooking spray to prepare (120 calories)

If you choose, you can opt to leave off the cheese for a true homemade 'hamburger'. Add ketchup and a pickle for a few more calories to this meal - or if you opt to omit the cheese - you'll have a few calories to spare even when you add the ketchup and pickle.

We suggest mashing the beef in between plastic wrap OR wax paper, using saucers as pressing tools. Make the meat as thin as possible before frying.

Be sure to see our 'beverage' note regarding coffee, tea and other beverages that you may choose to have with your meals, or throughout the day.
