[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for your thoughtful responses. I’m not dieting per se, in order to lose weight. I am eating healthy to ensure my body gets all the nutrients it needs. I have high cholesterol so I also want to lower that through diet. Right now I am flexeterian. I drink a smoothie for breakfast, and eat stir fried veggies for lunch and dinner. After a few days of this I am craving “real food” so I indulge on a chicken sandwich for lunch. Today i ordered a chicken and cheese panini. But I feel guilty since I already had one on Monday. I don’t want the carbs and cheese to increase the omega 6 in my body and contribute to my cholesterol. [/quote]

So make a "heathy" burger with high quality ingredients.  A leaner ground beef, or if you are feeling really neurotic something like bison or turkey or a veggie burger.  Use a whole wheat bun, or some nice high quality (perhaps even whole wheat/whole grain) bread instead of a bun.  Make the patty a reasonable size.  Put some nice cheese on there--a sharp cheddar or gruyere or something.  Or skip the cheese and put avocado on there.  Then put tomato and lettuce or mixed greens,.

I fail to see how lean meat, whole grain bread, vegetables, and a small amount of cheese in a reasonable portion size is not giving your body good nutrients?[/quote]

Agree with this. Buy high quality meat and prepare the burgers yourself. We did this last night, grilled delicious cheeseburgers (93/7 fat %) on whole wheat buns with homemade sweet potato wedges (baked) on the side. We are both fit and healthy, satisfied a craving and felt NO guilt. We do this every other week or so, sometimes a little less. [/quote]
