Six burgers under 300 calories
Yeah, even though they're under 300 calories, you still have to keep an eye on that 'portion control' thing.
It's worth being wary of salads, especially those served in restaurants where you can't control the ingredients and the portions are often better suited to a family of four rather than a single, weight-conscious individual.
If your salad contains cheese, ham, bacon bits, egg, and/or giant croutons, all slathered in a creamy dressing, it could also contain more calories than a burger.
And, really - wouldn't you just rather have the burger?
I would, but without the guilt. With that in mind, here are six great recipes for burgers, each less than 300 calories.

They sound great...but...I need to have a bun with them! That would bump up the calories wouldn't it!

I made the Smoky BBQ Burger and it was delicious!!!, but I substituted the bread crumbs for finely chopped broccoli. Less calories and the meat was still moist and tasty.

I HOPE TO TRY THE BULGUR AND MUSHROOM ONES WHEN MY VEGETARIAN DAUGHTER COMES.
