Calories in the open-faced diet hamburger

The meat patty, reduced-fat kashar cheese, lettuce, pickle and ketchup reference is served on one slice of toast. A 165 g portion supplies about 220 calories, with 13.44 g protein, 20.99 g carbohydrate and 8.91 g fat. A weighed 200 g serving supplies about 267 calories. A larger patty or more cheese changes the total.

Is it a bunless burger?

No. One slice of white toast sits underneath, while lettuce wraps the meat and cheese in place of a top piece of bread. The source cooks the patty in a nonstick pan without added oil. Cheese is placed on the patty, the lettuce is wrapped around it, and the warmed filling is served on the bread with ketchup and pickle. Lettuce does not cancel the carbohydrate from the toast.

Weigh the complete serving, including bread. Treating 165 g as the patty weight and adding bread and cheese on top would describe a different portion. The patty's precise weight and fat percentage are not supplied, so the figures cannot be guaranteed for an arbitrary butcher's burger.

A slice of white sandwich bread varies in weight with the loaf and cut. When calculating your own hamburger, weigh the bread before heating rather than assigning fixed calories to the words “one slice”.

What about fries and extra sauce?

Fries, mayonnaise and a drink are separate from the calculated hamburger. The recipe's ketchup, pickle and cheese are already included and should not be counted twice. An additional cheese slice or a second slice of bread needs its own weight and nutrition added.

Serving size and ingredients are more informative than the word “diet”. A meat burger wrapped in lettuce is a different dish from a lentil, carrot and oat burger served with yogurt sauce. Their portion calorie figures are not interchangeable.
