Biggest Loser Cookbook Recipes #3
I love burgers always have and always will. But lets face it they are not the healthiest choice while trying to lose weight. Well this recipe from the Biggest Loser Cookbook can help.
Almost Fast Food Burger
Ingredient List
1 Tablespoon of Low-fat Mayonnaise
1/2 Teaspoon ketchup
1/2 Teaspoon yellow mustard
1/4 Pound 96% lean ground beef
1 Slice (3/4 ounce) fat-free American cheese
1 Whole-grain or whole wheat hamburger bun
1/4 Cup of chopped romaine lettuce leaves
1 Thin slice red onion
3 Dill pickle rounds
Directions
Mix the Ketchup, Mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl and set it aside. Shape the beef into a patty about a 1/2 inch wider than the bun.
Over medium heat on the BBQ, indoor grill or a non stick pan. Cook the patty until it has reached your desired doneness.
Once the patty has been fully cooked place it on the bottom bun and top it with the cheese, lettuce, onion and pickles. Pour the ketchup/mustard/mayo mixture over the burger and top with the other half of the bun.

Biggest Loser Cookbook Recipes
It’s no secret that I am a fan of the Biggest Loser TV show. I have heard a lot of people bashing it, saying that it doesn’t reflect real life. Citing that no one can workout 5 hours and day, have personal trainers at every workout and that the losses aren’t realistic.
Well that may be somewhat true, I think that the inspiration, motivation and awareness it raises about weight loss and adopting a healthy lifestyle far out weight any flaws it might have.
I purchased the Biggest Loser Cookbook a while ago and I’ve been very impressed with it ever since. (you can read my review of it here) Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of my favorite recipes from it.
Try this one out and let me know what you think.
Energizing Bacon and Egg Breakfast Burrito
Ingredients
3 large egg whites
1 strip Turkey Bacon, chopped
¼ cup of chopped onion
2 Tbsp of chopped tomato
1 (8 inch) whole wheat tortilla
¼ cup shredded light cheddar cheese
2 Tsp red taco sauce
In a small skillet over medium heat cook the Turkey bacon until almost crispy, then add the onion. Stir for 1-2 minutes then add the tomato. Stir for another 2 minutes. Once everything is cooked transfer the mixture to a bowl. Cover to keep it warm.
Crack the 3 egg whites into a bowl and microwave them for 30 second intervals until they are fully cooked. Break the egg up into smaller pieces, mix them together with the other ingredients.
Place the tortilla in the skillet and heat for 1 minute per side. Once it has been warmed, transfer it on to a plate. Take the cheddar cheese and spread it evenly over the tortilla. Lay all of the cooked ingredients on top of the cheese and drizzle the hot sauce over everything.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and enjoy.
Note: I hate eggs cooked in the microwave, to me they taste like rubber. So instead I add the eggs to the skillet once the other ingredients have been cooked, sort of like an omelet.
