healthy hamburger?

A low calorie bread, instead of a bun, would open up the world for you.0

I really like lettuce wraps. Or a low carb wrap if I'm at home.0

I need healthy low cal recipes for hamburger meat. 73/27. my dinner cannot be over 500 calories
Why can't it be over 500 cals?
Just make a smaller patty and use less cheese etc. Nothing inherently unhealthy about a hamburger0 -
Have you tried ground chicken or ground turkey? That may help, also if you use a sandwich thin or one bun they have about 100 calories and come in whole wheat, or multi grain.0

You could do a regular cheeseburger, leaving out the meat......0 -
I always use Lettuce as my bun0

If you're worrying about low cal and you're using 73/27 hamburger meat, you're doing it wrong.
When I was younger I was a fan of making the burger, mixing in the things like onions and seasonings with the meat, and then just eating it with a fork and some ketchup like meatloaf. You can also use just half of the bun, or a lettuce wrap. Put cheese on it or not depending on how many calories the other stuff is. If you're just trying to keep the burger under 500 calories, that shouldn't be too hard.0 -

Hamburgers are healthy. Maybe skip the bread to reduce the calories this time?0

lean beef burger patty with loads of salad
dump the bun0 -
Instead of beef, use turkey. Add a box of Lipton Onion soup mix, a little bit of garlic powder, and a good splash of soy sauce to the ground turkey and mix it up good prior to making the patties. It makes the turkey burgers much better. I actually like them better than beef hamburgers now.0

^^This! Also grill instead of fry. If you don't have a grill then pat the fat off of the burger with a napkin.0 -
You can also use a small wheat pocket pita...I found one that is only 50 calories. Just load it with veggies and make sure you drain the grease from your hamburger meat as much as possible (use a George F. grill if possible). Good luck : )0

that particular hamburger meat is all we can afford right now. we get a discount buying it in larger bundlesIf you're worrying about low cal and you're using 73/27 hamburger meat, you're doing it wrong.

You could use a dry meat rub for flavor (applewood, peppercorn, etc..)........0

Or instead of a bun, use the sandwich thins that they have? Like this: http://www.arnoldbread.com/category/sandwich-thins®-rolls
They are pretty tasty and less than a bun.0 -
Just go to Carl's Jr. and order a couple of Kid's burgers without the bun.

Add in veggies to the meat- like you would with a meatloaf.
Skip the bun or use a healthier bread.
Less mayo and ketchup.0 -

How would that make it healthier?0 -
You can buy ground turkey from Aldi or Save-A-Lot for about $1.00 a pound. Can't get much cheaper than that. Trust me, I am on a major budget and I can still swing it.0

If we're posting pics of burgers, I want in. I had this one earlier this week. It's got smoked gouda cheese, sauteed onions, jalapenos, bacon, and Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter. However, I learned after this that the White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter is way better on a burger. Trial and error...

Did you hit that cheese with a torch? If so I salute your culinary skills, sir!0 -

It wouldn't necessarily. I get that. But if they are making "low-calorie" synonymous with "healthy," then they might as well.0 -
