The 309 Calorie Cheeseburger



Burgers aren't all that bad for you, if you choose the right ingredients to put in. A fast food cheeseburger with beef patty with cheddar, ketchup and relish on the bun can easily top 475 calories, but you can slim it down considerably without sacrificing flavor- or a bikini-ready bod.

Here's how to build a better burger:

Tomato: 4 calories per slice.
Get ripe, juicy flavor without the added sugar of ketchup.

Cheese: 48 calories per slice.
No need to bypass cheese. Just go for a low-fat variety of Swiss.

Burger: 140 calories.
Switch from 75% to 95% lean beef in your patty. You'll never know the difference.

Pickles: 4 calories.
At just 1 calorie each, dill slices are a slimmer but still flavorful sub for relish.
