    tacos - mmmmmm. The cheese is the killer. Unfortunately, I've really started to like it.

    i had (the other day for dinner)

    200g of Baby Potatoes - 130 calories

    112g of Mushy Peas - 83 calories

    Low Fat Hamburger (no bun) - 155 calories

    you could add, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, carrots also?

    maybe some low fat mayo, if you had any calories left?

    crumble it up
    fry it
    pour off the fat
    place it on a paper towel to get the last of the grease off
    add a package, jar or can of beef gravy
    I like it served over mashed cauliflower or spaghetti squash

    :drinker:

    would it not be best to grill the hamburger? :flowerforyou:

    yep it would.. but it's gonna fall right through the grill :tongue:

    I think if it's all broken up and fried well.. and drained and blotted.. maybe it would contain about the same amount of fat as grilling... I'm not sure
