I would have a burger...like a regular burger...I don't find there to be anything inherently unhealthy about a burger.3

My healthy options when looking at the menu are only a veggie burger or chili, or a grilled swiss cheese sandwich (which is probably coated in butter, so probably not actually healthy). Which would you choose?
Burger. No mayo, no cheese, no bacon. Fat is very calorie dense so leave that off. If you're really motivated get a side salad instead of fries.
If you look at the menu posted above, you'll see that a side salad isn't an option (although someone did make the good suggestion for OP to ask if she could have extra topping vegetables to bulk up her burger).1 -
I might have a burger in a lettuce wrap, that often saves around 200 calories.0

If you don't want to do the "no bun" thing, ask for the cheese on the bottom, lose the top half of the bun, cut the burger in half, flip one half on the other, and create a double decker! :-)0

Personally I would just get a fairly simple burger and enjoy it, especially if it's a one off treat that you don't do very often. Maybe just do an extra workout or eat a little less the next day to balance out. That might be just me though I find if I completely deprive myself I end up caving more in the long run.1

So I arrived at the burger joint, and to my surprise they had added turkey burgers to the menu! So I got a turkey burger with lettuce, onion, and pickles and extra tomato because I love tomatoes and no cheese or mayo. I put a little bit of bbq sauce on it. I also was able to resist stuffing my face with fries. I stole a few from my son, but I was good and that was it!
Yummy poultry goodness!!!!5 -
Well done! Great choice.1

Nice!! I'm a fat vegetarian trust me the veggie burgers have the same calories as a meat burger. You did good, I like that you planned ahead of time, makes it so much easier right?2
