I love burgers. However, when I think of it then all the cheese, yummy but high calorie mayonnaise and all makes me feel absolutely guilty. Junk food, extra calories that would make a huge contribution to my losing battle to my weight gain problem is what immediately comes to mind. Of course, I do have burgers not that I have given up totally and resorted to health food only. However, the calories don’t seem to let me enjoy this juicy delicious dish peacefully.

So I decided to cut out some of the fat and calories from my burger and still keep it tasty. First and foremost I cut out the slice of cheese. Now that would not be as sinful to indulge in. Next I used a low cal eggless mayonnaise (I just love the aroma and taste of mayonnaise and so that is an ingredient I cannot do without). Now I was definitely closer to my target of a low calorie delicious burger. The next step was to grill my burger patty without any oil or butter. I also replaced the meat for my burger patty with chicken instead of red meat. I am a great chicken lover and so it was perfect.

With all the extra calories cut out my burger this was heavenly and yes, minus the guilt. Believe me the taste was not compromised on one bit. So here was my burger with a lettuce layer, the mayonnaise with cabbage and carrot, crunchy onions, tomato slices, a layer of sliced cucumbers and huge burger patty. Droool….
Yummy…. My Burger is no longer junk food….Relish!!!
