The Biggest Loser Club: Eat to Lose

No, you don't have to haul out the food scale or measuring cup to get a pretty accurate read of an appropriate portion size. The Biggest Loser trainer Bob Harper tells you how to take portion sizes in hand in this video:






Below is a Biggest Loser recipe for the "Almost Fast-Food Burger":

1 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 tsp ketchup
1/2 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 lb 96% lean ground beef
1 slice (3/4 oz) fat-free American cheese (optional)
1 whole grain or whole wheat hamburger bun
1/4 cup chopped romaine lettuce
1 thin slice red onion
3 dill pickle rounds

1. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir to mix. Set aside. Shape beef into a patty that is about 1/2" wider than the bun.

2. Preheat medium nonstick skillet or grill rack on high heat. Place patty in skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. (Do not press burger with spatula.) About 30 seconds before burger is cooked, top with cheese, if desired.

3. Place bun halves, cut sides down, in pan. Cook for about 45 seconds, or until toasted.

4. Place bun bottom on serving plate. Top with patty, lettuce, onion, and pickles. Spread reserved sauce over inside of bun top. Flip onto burger. Serve immediately.
