BURGERS/ground meat

[flex13]

Hey fellas usually I just grab a ball of frozen meat from the freezer toss it on the pan and chop it up then eat. I was wondering if it is much worse to just make a hamburger patty toss it on the grill and just add one slice of chesse and no bun then it. I mean it cant be adding anymore calories beside the cheese correct? The only reason I ask this is because I have been on a strict routine with what I eat but over the weekend I was at my sisters and she had a left over hamburger in the fridge and I was starving so i just took it out and eat it and it was actually real good. let me know fellas....the beef i always use is just regular ground meat from the butcher!

its fine to eat it by itself but why wouldn't u wanna eat it with a bun? u cutting out carbs? why would u be cutting out carbs? i always get the wheat hamburger buns, works out for a great meal.. protein in the meat, some good carbs and fiber in the bun, and some romaine lettuce

and the cheese i get 2% milk, its got half the fat, tastes fine

Man, your fine. One slice of cheese in't nothing.

Grilling on an open flame is also better than frying. Bad juices run out and escape is why. As, long as every meal isn't BBQ'd (the charred part can/is carcinogenic).

All in all, your fine. Especially if you are not counting every single macro and are try to be in competition status. They are on a bit of a diff level.

True, I believe that 2% or 1% is better/more nutition than fat free milk.

Lol thanks fellas. I am currently cutting and havent had a burger in a while. Probably gonna add 1-2 burgers a week into my diet just to switch it up getting tired of eating the same things every week. Also taking ap so the wheat buns is a good idea

If you have a Foreman GRill its even better. I usually just buy those griller packs with 32 1/4lb burguers and cook them in the grill. Their nutritional values are HORRIBLE but after I run them in the grill and dry them up with a paper towel most of the fat is out.

I mean, with 2 of those burguers on a small G.F. Grill I fill up the entire "dump tray" with fat. And I mean, fill it up. So I'm pretty confident there's very little left in the burguer itself and I end up just eating some nice lean protein with, as stated above, wheat bread and some cheese.

I just go for lean burgers and george foreman them.

ya another thing, whats the fat % of the burger u get? 80/20? thats the most common one... but i never eat that stuff, i always get the 93/7, its a little bit more expensive, but it has way less fat, and it tastes fine.. its worth the extra couple bucks if u ask me... actually what i've been eating lately is bison meat.. thats good stuff but expensive as ****

Not sure what the fat % is...It is prob 80/20 if thats the most common because my mom buys it for me. But i am gonna tell her next time she goes to get the leaner beef.

So all in all a burger or 2 a week is gonna fit into my diet just fine is basically what I am getting at?

Or wrap the burger in a lettuce leaf instead of buns. Less carbs.

You should bulk cook your own burgers. I did almost 10lbs this summer and they lasted me ages. Then you can make your own healthy burger. I put it in a piece of sprouted grain bread, with a slice of FF Processed cheese ontop. Tastes amazing! Add to the beef some spices, pepper, and egg or two, + some breadcrumbs. Turns out like this:

Damn that looks pretty good bro!!! Ya I do make my own burgers I dont think those pre made patties are that good for ya especially while on a diet. I was just worrying about ruining my diet but if u keep it healthy i think it can actually be a pretty nutritious meal.

I went no bun for a bit; added some extra cheese, condiments and toppings and all I could think about was the extra ketchup dripping off and how great it tasted, and never really focused on having no bun

I eat around 12 Burgers a week half beef, half turkey.

When I eat them Post WO I eat them on Ezekial Hamburger buns.

i agree....i think 93/7 and 96/4 is the easiest way to get your protein intake for the day. Just slap a few patties together and grill them......very lean,,,,high protein, low fat and very easy to make and also very easy to fashion it like u like (spices, mustard, soy sauce, ff cheese.....blue cheese....etc....etc.)

How much does that cost you Americans? I can get 90/10 for $3/lb on sale this week. Usually about 3.50-4/lb. We don't sell beef that lean up here. I was at Walmart last weekend, but that particular one didn't have fresh food

i still like buying the 73/27, pan frying it as crumbles then rinsing with boiling water after draining the fat. you end up with leaner than 96/4, but at less than half the price. Can get the 73/27 for under $2 a lb, the 96/4 is usually around $4.50-$5/lb
