Anyone know of any low calorie hamburger buns? I want to make hamburgers tomorrow, but I don't want one hamburger to have like 500 calories because I'm going to be making mozzarella sticks too.

Hmm....Thomas, or maybe Eartth Grains make hamburger buns that are thin. At our grocer, they are in the bread aisle and are next to the Bagel Thins, also a smaller and flatter bagel. I think Country Hearth also makes light hamburger buns,0

What about sandwich thins like these? http://www.arnoldbakery.com/Thins/ListProducts.aspx0

sara lee has 80 calorie hamburger buns0
-
That's what I had for dinner tonight and I used a Nature's Own Sandwich Thin (100 cals).. Also, rather than mayonnaise and cheese I just used one wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese (35 cals). Small changes sometimes make a big difference!
Good luck and enjoy your burger tomorrow!

Kroger has a Lite Whole Grain bun that is 80 calories as well.0

SaraLee Wheat hamburger buns are 200 calories.0

Oroweat Sandwich Thins work really well! Each bun is only 100 calories, 5g fiber, and 1g fat. They have several varieties too: 100% Whole Wheat, Honey Wheat, Whole Grain White, or Multigrain.

Also try the Hungry Girl recipe for mozzerella sticks, they are awesome!!0

Aunt Millie's makes a bun called the slimwhich, its 90 cals, but it tastes really good. They have different varieties too, whole wheat, 8 grain, and white. It has 8 buns and was about $3.000

I've had the 80 calorie ones before and I enjoy them. They are Sara Lee.. 0

Oooh lots of choices! lol Anyone know for sure if I can get any of these at Walmart or Savemart or maybe even Trader Joes?? I would prefer to eat organic, but I've found that it's hard to find anything in a low calorie version that is also organic. lol
Thanks for all the help, btw. :happy:0 -

That's the one I'm doing! Only I'm using Trader Joe's High Fiber Cereal instead of the Fiber One because I refuse to eat anything with aspartame. I hope they turn out well!!!!0 -

Haha! He must really love mozzarella sticks! But it's okay. I totally understand. They are one of the greatest foods on the planet.

I also use the Earth Grain 100 calorie thin buns. I don't like having so much bread anyway, so those are PERFECT!0

Sara Lee has some that are 80 calories. Check-out this website

I ordered a lettuce veggie burger at a restaurant a few months back unknowing to me it was literally iceburg lettuce instead of a bun. It was the greatest thing (and I LOVE bread!) and I have ONLY had this with my burgers since!
Using a butcher knife slice off 2 round sections of iceberg (basically I can use 1 iceberg head for 2 buns - 4 pieces and I use the rest as salad or on top of sandwiches for lunch) and ta da! You have yourself a 30-40 cal bun! It is really filling as well since you are eating the same amount of lettuce you would eat in a GIANT salad.0 -
In Iowa, we have Village Hearth lite wheat buns which are 80 calories. It is satisfying to be able to eat a real hamburger with a real bun! I buy the ground beef that is 93% lean for these special occasions and cook them on my George Foreman grill. There is hardly any fat dripping in the tray. Hebrew National hot dogs that are 93% lean are also not too bad when you have "that" craving and Village Hearth also make 80 cal. hot dog buns.0

I use high fiber tortillas.0
-
I agree with the iceburg lettuce option - or go a couple of big mushrooms and chuck everything between them
- not quite the same but delicious regardless... nice if you grill them a bit first :P 0 -
You can try Thomas's English muffins too. They have a light muffin for 100 calories and a toasted muffin is a great way to serve a burger!
I prefer wraps... I use La Tortilla Factory 100 calorie wraps (huge)!
Also, FlatOut bread is great too.0 -

Wonder bread makes hamburger buns for 100 cal each, weight watcher makes them for 90. I like both, but i try to stick to one or go sans bun altogther...there is so much id rather eat than a bun. wrap it in iceburg lettuce is strangley atisfying becasue of the crunch...sounds strange i know but i actuall like it 0

I'm not sure if it's a national brand but Country Kitchen makes an 80 calorie whole wheat hamburger bun. They're pretty small, but hey, it's 80 calories and at least it has the "look" of a hamburger bun and not a flat pita bread.0
-
This is an old thread but I thought I'd add that Giant Food (also known as Martin's in Virginia) makes very good reduced calorie breads, including both white and wheat hamburger buns. The wheat ones are delicious. My local store is usually out of these and asking them to keep them in stock hasn't helped, but if you live near one of the Giant family of stores you might find them there. The light wheat sandwich bread is good too, although Sara Lee light wheat is just a pinch better.0

I get the Healthy Life hamburger buns from Walmart: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/healthy-life-80-calorie-wheat-hamburger-bun-850764950
