*crossing fingers on picture posting*

Grilled chicken breast filleted and stuffed with a grilled beef burger, 2 slices cheese & four slices bacon. This is what I made for supper tonight and it was pretty life changing for me. I highly recommend it.

    Needs cauliflower to be life changing doesn't it? Maybe you should add some to find out if it has a bigger effect!

    My only complaint is that my burger isn't medium/medium well but it was still super tasty! Thanks ????

    I'd coat it in some Sriracha sauce and be in heaven.

    It would look even better between two buns.

    Lol I wanted to save my carbs for grapes tonight! I'm not anti carbs or buns in general though. Not sure if I would have been able to fit it in my mouth if it were any bigger though.

    Instead of Turdeckhen, you've made a beefporkhen. Awesome!! Substitute ham and you have Chicken Cordon Bleu.

    Bacon is the only pork I eat lol. I for whatever reason don't like ham, chops, etc. Hubby loves chicken cordon bleu though!

    LOL! It was 99 grams!! My goal is 1 gram/pound LBM so it wasn't quite there (goal 130 grams) but it was 76% of goal and my total for the day ended up 152 grams! Yeah baby! ????????????

    Why not patty melts for buns, more bread and more beef and cheese

    IMG_20130814_183553.jpg

    Grilled cheeses?

    Lol. I guess my whole point was to make a bread less burger so I could save my carbs for the day. This helped me hit my macros perfectly. I have no issue with bread/grains/carbs, but this way I got a delicious burger and had room in my macros for ice cream last night (was going to have grapes but then my hubby pulled out ice cream haha). If I have to decide between a bun for my burger or ice cream in one day and still hit my macros? ICE CREAM WILL WIN EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

    Side note: grilled cheese *drool* yum!!!
