A New Spin on an Old Fast Food Favorite!

Jan 25, 2023

I’ve learned a lot over these last couple of years. One thing I’ve learned is that the flavor is not in the bun on a burger! This salad is even yummier and allows enjoyment of great tasting food without the inflammation-inducing aspects of the burger.

One of the things I love as a HEALTH COACH is to tweak things so I still have delicious food with the added bonus of FEELING better after eating!

Let's do a little comparison....it’s eye opening

Big Mac in a Bowl:
190 Calories
20 calories from fat
37g of protein
6g of carbs
2g of sugar
2g of fat
Balanced Blood Sugars
Healthy

McDonald’s Big Mac:
590 calories
306 calories from fat
24g of protein
47g of carbs
8g of sugar
34g of fat
Blood sugars unbalanced (spike & crash)
Unhealthy
Diabetes

👊🥗Such an easy healthy lifestyle shift that makes a world of difference!!!
Try asking for a lettuce wrap/protein style or turning it into a salad when you order your next burger (though Micky D’s won’t do it) perhaps your local restaurant will - or make this one at home! I promise you will like it!
