To give this game-day classic a healthy twist, opt for lean ground beef or turkey instead of fattier cuts. When in comes to the fixins, switch processed cheese and bacon for healthy toppings like avocado, tomato and lettuce. For portion control, try grilling sliders instead of full-size burgers. Mustard is also lower in calories and carbs than ketchup or mayo. Even better? Consider grilling a portobello mushroom instead! Portobellos belongs to the cremini family of mushrooms, but can grow as large as 4 or more inches in diameter. Portobellos are low-fat and contain a nice balance of protein and carbs. Portobello mushrooms are also high in fiber, which is key to controlling cholesterol and blood-sugar levels. They also can be very filling, which is beneficial for weight maintenance.
