I had a delicious ‘lean’ burger for brunch – no carbs, so it isnt stuffed with wheat or other fillers.
The weight on the deli label said 175 grams, so I logged that while I was cooking.
Looking at the amount of fat in the pan after I’d cooked it, I decided to weigh it again, as I wasn’t going to eat the fat that was left – the cooked weight was only 135g (& 130 after i’d cut of a piece for the cat!)
85 Calories back!
I also had coleslaw with it – after chopping a mound of cabbage and carrot, I weighed 15g of mayonnaise (the alleged serving size according to the jar), I looked at the pile of veg and realised the mayonnaise wasn’t going to go very far. Not wanting to give up on having coleslaw, I mixed the mayonnaise with 30g of quark; it worked really well and tasted delicious. If I have it again I may experiment with cutting it to 10g of mayonnaise.
I imagine yoghurt or creme fraiche would work just as well as quark
Scary when I think about how much mayonnaise I used to eat pre-BSD, usually with chips!
