    The real bread isn’t good for you. Those are empty, fiberless carbs.

    The bun is bread + an assload of sugar + oil. Though, they do at least include sesame seeds as fiber.

    4oz of lean chopped steak is (relatively) better for you than 12oz of 80/20 ground beef But that looks like more than 4oz.

    The real problem is that the proportions are all wrong.

    You should have a bowl of lettuce with 1/2 a chopped tomato and 1/4 of a diced onion, a couple ounces of ground beef crumbles and maybe some garlic croutons.

      I recall doing things like this when doing keto (skipping the croutons of course). You can get close to a burger flavor and aroma profile if you add dill (or dill pickles), ketchup, and/or mustard as a dressing. The result is satisfactory if you’re craving the real thing. Olfactory memory is incredibly potent, so use it to your dieting advantage.

        Yes, indeed, I also spent quite a while in Keto. Taco salads were my fav.
