The Burger Diet

Okay so it's not exactly a diet but just a little experiment that I decided to do last week. Hopefully that title grabbed some attention though :) I recently shared on Instagram that I was starting to get sick of my diet and that goes against everything that I preach so I decided to switch it up a bit, particularly adding lean beef and turkey as protein. I incorporated 1-2 healthy burger creations into my meals every day last week. The results? Very satisfied. My current fitness goal is to slowly lean out and I really didn't change up my current calorie intake or macro split. If anything I added a bit more carbs this week. I was easily able to incorporate a lot of delicious burger-based meals into my diet without steering off plan. If anything I actually felt leaner by the end of the week. I didn't weigh myself before and after because I like to focus more on how I look and feel to determine progress and the goal here wasn't to show a decrease on the scale. The goal was to show that your diet does not have to be boring to be healthy. It's sometimes hard to distinguish between being hungry v.s. not satisfied which is why I needed to mix things up a bit. This was a fun way to mix up my diet and satisfy my burger cravings! Below is a recap of my favorite creations from the week:
