A Good Trade Off

A burger without the bun.

Take on fork: a cherry tomato half, a bit of lettuce, a piece of air-fried burger. Dip it all into ketchup and then mustard and it’s a burger minus the carb-loaded bun (28-38 grams of carbs per bun).

This makes room for a filling lite beer (3.2 grams of carbs per can)

In my world, that’s a good trade-off.

    Still getting all the flavors of a classic burger without the carb overload!

      True enough.. of course it’s not the same, but it’s very close.

    An excellent compromise, Terri. I try to do the same.

      If we can maintain discipline in making those trade-offs, Carole … they can make dieting a lot easier. Have a great rest!

    Looks excellent – except I couldn’t have the beer. Even the light ones have yeast. 🙄 Ran late last night but I got my treadmill in! Aerobics and weights today and a walk with Molly when Dan gets back from shopping. I hope you get/got your power walk in! 💝🤗

      Good for you! This week, I’ve increased my distance by 1 km (doing a little over 3 now), have improved my pace by a few seconds, and will do 5 days. I’m very pleased with that. Thanks for keeping me accountable, partner! 👍👏

      Thanks, Edward. Making room for little indulgences like that every now and then, helps me to stay on track with the eating plan. Have a great weekend!
