Nothing quite says American cuisine like a big, juicy hamburger. But while we might indulge in this delight, most of us don't want to look big or juicy.

So, let me get this straight... smaller burgers are better for you, things without cheese are better for you, and things without bacon are better for you. Wow, really?

"Which fast-food burger to eat on a diet" is an oxymoron.

Better for you is a relative term. As long as you don't eat too much, you could eat whatever.

it's funny, turkey burgers really are hyped up, they don't even 'visually' or at first glance, look much better for you than beef, honestly. Damn.

Ha, yeah, I just noticed that part, lol. I just like the info. yeah, that's pretty gay what the writer wrote.

I hear buffalo is better for you than beef. Not sure how true that is, though.

Really, though, if you want to eat a burger, buy some quality meat at a place you trust and make 'em yourself. Eating a fast-food burger is not too good for you, given the amounts of meat they go through. JMO.

In and Out Protein Style is pretty much the only burger I'll eat when I'm trying to cut back calories.

No, i wasn't really looking for advice, here. This is more of the type of thread were you sort of read the criteria and laugh at how ridiculous the stats are.

That's why I like making my own food. I can make a burger 100 times more delicious with half the calories of a McDonald's burger, with more protein, less fat and less "suck."

I'm getting there very quickly. I find myself wanting to eat out less and less because I know I can make something better and take advantage of those precious calories in a much more delicious way. I much prefer my own hamburgers to the fast food joints anymore.

Bison is better because it is lower in overall fat, and higher in the 'good' fats. As such, it has fewer calories, pound for pound.

Grass fed beef is very similar to bison, FWIW.

I am with Silock... you can eat whatever you want so long as you don't eat too much of it, without gaining weight.

Now, once you are heavy, I think eating the wrong kinds of foods can really sabotage your progress.

Caloric content should be no surprise to anyone who isn't a moron
I'd be more interested in seeing the sodium content for each of those items

They're ridiculous I assure you. And it's safe to say that all of them minus the smallest ones have over an entire day's worth of salt in them. That's why people bloat up after eating fast food.
