I Made A Burger & Fries That Will Help You Lose Weight

Hi Nino, I always update the book every 6 weeks or so with 10-12 recipes. I don't like updating the book every week with 1-2 recipes as I don't want to spam you

quick question, the ebook is marked as 49 euros for me... is there a way to pay in CAD?

If you slice the onions very thin (thin C shapes) you can can throw them on top of the burger patty and smash them together. This way the onions will cook in the ground beef juices. The thinner you can slice the onions the quicker they will cook.

[@tanory07]

This does not work very well for lean ground beef as it will not have as much juice.

[@deadmayday6702]

also known as an Oklahoma Onion Burger

[@delt19]

@@tanory07 that's correct. 95% lean is too lean for my preference but you can still get decently sautéed onions if you can slice them thin enough and salt them before cooking to remove some of the water content. I tend to use 85% or 90% lean and the onions come out really nice that way.

[@Felu]

Sounds nice! Aren't these oklahoma onion burgers? never tried those

[@meciahblacknoll5703]

​@@FeluI'm sitting in my home in OKC right now. Yes, that's pretty much exactly what it is.

[@christopherprescott9110]

Felu - I HIGHLY recommend getting a broad, sharp-edged burger spatula. It works wonders for pulling charred food off of iron without sacrificing that beautiful crust to the pan, and it helps tremendously with clean up on steel pans and cast iron. 🤙

[@Felu]

Thanks for the tip!

[@heyselice]

The baking soda tip is actually so good, I made fries without it before and that really does improve the crispiness! Great vid as always dude

[@neoasura]

What works even better is Baking Powder.

[@marcusgilmore5211]

@@neoasura I’m a professional chef i’m always playing around with food and different techniques lol cornstarch as well it’s really good crispy outside creamy inside I do it for home fries..

[@beyazkeyat]

Awesome tip with the baking soda! A good way to hold the patties together (and add even more protein) is to mix in egg whites before you form your meat ball/patty.

[@takeshii]

For the cheese you can use the Jarlsberg Lite Reduced Fat Swiss Cheese Slices, 50 calories 7g protein, they used to sell at costco.

[@BaronVonScrub]

The baking soda also raises the PH of the chips, which makes them brown better! :)

[@abhishes]

This is a great recipe. Also while hunting for low calorie burger buns I have found Keto Buns which are just 50 calories. That is another great option to reduce the calories.

[@Felu]

Keto buns are great but they are nowhere to find where I live

[@tuz2tuz229]

Keto buns also have good protein as well but they are so much more expensive usually

[@tonydavila2606]

QUICK TIP. When doing smash burgers. It’s kind of hard on a cast iron pan on the stove top because I feel like you have a limited space. It’s stuck because you flipped too early. It should naturally released from the pan if the pan is seasoned properly. But you want a really hard surface that way it instantly browns the burger. Releases in like 30 seconds to a minute you flip to the other side of the pan that’s still extremely hot and finish it up on that side. The pan cools down really fast when you first put the burger on there so you can’t flip it on itself you have to flip it on a new spot. This is hard on a cast-iron pan with more than one patty . And when you do multiple pan will collect a lot of oil and you can’t sear the burger anymore you’re pretty much to deep frying. I’ve had good luck on well. Seasoned carbon steel pans. Because It heat up extremely fast. And they cool down really fast. Which is good to sear. Flip to the other side of the pan and it goes by a lot quicker because it gets hotter faster. And it has really fast heat transfer. The best option I have found. People who have has black stone griddles. You probably have the best. To the rest of us peasants. Lodge makes like a 20 inch, or 24 inch cast-iron griddle. I get my coals put them in the coal chimney. Pull them out while they’re like 3/4 of the way done that way they’re still flames. Maybe put some fresh coals in the bottom of the grill. Dump my lip coals, don’t wait for it to settle. You want hot flames. Set it to the hottest setting. Throw your griddle on there. And you have maximum heat griddle-ing to your disposal. Remember just flip to a new spot every time that way you get fresh untouched heat. You’ll get the best browning on your smash burgers. And fat that leaks out. And the extreme heat flares onto your pan. It can get interesting.

[@BigMama2022]

Wow, you know so much, you should have your own YT channel. I mean really, you just know SO SO much. 😏💀

[@Ooweeeooo]

You use too many periods

[@melange78]

Min/max pro tip: you can use saurkraut in your burger. It will replace the pickled cucumber and also the lettuce if you live in a place where the lettuce is a bit sad off season. Also smash the burger on paper instead of in the pan and you will get a better burger.

[@Enyamasparw]

Sauerkraut is cabbage, not lettuce.

[@melange78]

@@Enyamasparw I did not state that either if you read properly. I wrote you can substitute it for lettuce if lettuce is out of season.

[@arceyominyin]

Just a fantastic example of how lowering caloric intake doesnt have to be painful and sustainable dieting is possible with a little consideration of what youre actually cooking with. Thank you for showing the macro break down. I'm super impressed it only came out to 676 kcal.

[@KhaosSN]

I've been using ground turkey for making smashburgers like this and works really well with some basic seasoning too. Comes out a bit leaner then even the 90-93% ground beef options.

[@RedContingency]

Agreed. Even lean turkey makes great burgers. Low fat, high protein, easy to make, and low cost.

[@notsojharedtroll23]

My momma made a couple of these and god damn I was impressed by the flavour and (most importantly) the fullness of the meal. I really made me dissy after just one 😅

[@EastAG]

Replace the white burger bun with a wholemeal one (increases kcal), reduce kcal by choosing reduced fat cheese slices, ends up being a similar amount but protein must increase to around 50g due to the wholemeal burger bun.

[@healthhollow7218]

Try avocado or guacamole on a burger to replace the mayo! It’s tasty and provides healthy fats!

[@ramzy7330]

this is a low calorie recipe tho, wouldnt be smart to add those since it would increase the calories too much

[@JohnDoe_69]

Poor people trying to lose weight and eating god damn avocados thinking "if it's healthy ill lose weight"

[@dmcg7900]

Just bought the book. This recipe is so good I was about to add it to the 10 other recipes of yours I saved then realised that god damn you deserve to sell those books!

[@marcino457]

Vegan mayo is also really good if you want to reduce the total kcal of the meal. The ones I bought always had a mustardey aftertaste so I'd recommend using less mustard if you do decide to use vegan mayo

[@justincider8892]

You don't need the parchment paper to press the burgers. If you put them in the pan and let them cook a little you can flip them over and then press them. The cooked side will not stick to the spatula.

[@ymnplayer096]

Thank you man! I will definitely try this in the future. Finally, a burger meal I can enjoy without worries for physical fitness. You are a legend! Keep it up!💪🔥

[@DogukanSeptem]

This is genius! 600 calories for burger and fries is mental.

[@Psartz]

Because not deep fried

[@AuroraManzeraDecq]

To replace mayo i make a vegan nutritional yeast sauce with cream soy. It's cream soy, tons of nutritional yeast to adjust both taste and texture, black pepper, garlic powder, salt and a squeeze of lemon. That with ketchup is my go to burger sauce now.

[@Randomness662]

So glad I'm a BBQ sauce guy and not a mayo guy. There are great low sugar bbq sauce options and I end up adding only 10-20cals or so by using those.

[@Tulku]

For Cast Iron, the meat is ready to be turned when it releases itself. Plus, more oil might’ve helped. Great Burger, I’m looking forward to trying it.

[@gunarliepins]

One quick thing I can not recommend enough: Put about half a teaspoon of smoked paprika in your burger sauce. Seriously it makes the difference from "alright" to "whoa!" in taste. Another option for reducing the fat on the mayo even further is the Miracle Whip with Joghurt, I think it has enough sweetness and thickness to hold up as a substitute for mayo in a sauce like this and it's really low in calories. Your recipes, as always, are amazing, keep up the great work!

[@Felu]

The smoked paprika sounds nice, will try it next time

[@DarthMohammedRules]

For a while now, smoked paprika has be my favorite new thing to add to damn near everything. Have also been doing a lot with white pepper and celery salt, lately, as well. Good stuff! :D

[@RyDaMoOnline]

So glad we have Lighter than Light Mayo, 76c per 100g.

[@shawnerickstad6974]

Also can use low carb wraps with burger instead of bun and still tastes great

[@atolon123]

You can use high protein cheese - it varies from 150 to 210 cals per 100g, has 25-33g protein, however it will not melt as good and will taste a bit different

[@YES_MALLARD]

I know this is gonna be an amazing substitute for when the craving hits (while cutting). Thanks for sharing!

[@Felu]

Absolutely!

[@binhusavi]

you should use a steel spatula instead of a plastic one, and scrape it with the spatula inverted if that makes any sense

[@InGameProductionz]

This is incredible, I made it last night and I managed to get Brioche Buns from Tesco in the UK for only 164 calories per bun

[@Felu]

Nice 👌

[@stev3nj]

How about using a George Foreman grill? The machine can squeeze most of the burger juice out.

Potato peels has iodine and another such goodies in them. I never peel my potato skins off for my fries.

[@boredguy5805]

You can use calorie wise miracle whip for a mayo replacement, only 30 calories per tablespoon

[@robpom5501]

I jsut cut potato's put them on a pan with some spray oil, less than 3 seconds of use... then do that again add salt boom done they taste decent and have an extra 60 calories over the potato's plain in the oven at 450F for 20 mins

[@Insomnolant1335]

I've been eating this minus the bun and fries, plus some spinach and tomatoes, every day for lunch and I'm down 40 lbs. in three months. Instead of the sauce you used, I just use stone-ground mustard and hot sauce.

[@josephroa4475]

Heck yeah! Made your smash burger the other day.

[@Felu]

Nice!

[@craigbudden2976]

Another good option with this recipie is replacing the katchup with paprika. If you want to cut a few calories.

[@shahram72]

Excellent suggestion just using the small grocery store brand buns.. Less than half the calories. For those in the USA, I use Walmart buns. They are small but satisfy and calories are low. Don't bother with those overpriced, bad tasting keto buns.. But also. If you're actually in a calorie deficit, it's OK to have a brioche bun with this... I have some in my freezer and I'm not throwing them out! And the cheese calories... There's significant protein in there... This video is spot on..

[@FlofiFPV]

I use Miracle Whip Joghurt instead of Mayonnaise. Only 107 kcal in 100 grams. Tastes different but i like it

[@Shiny-Beast]

Light fluffy low calorie buns are key.

[@kensei1984]

Nice move with the banking soda. I learnt that from Kenji Lopez alt 😊

[@Ein0r10]

I love your channel, and the cookbook is probably great as well. And much easier to handle than checking a youtube video ;). But 70€ for a pdf is steep, to stay polite. I'd expect an actual hardcover for this price and the pdf as a bonus. No, it's probably not a mass produced book, adjusted to the size of the channel and nearly 200 pages, but that's still a tall ask. That's unfortunate for me. Keep up the great work though, I hope you are successful with it.

[@lisaarmstrong3428]

[@wasimhashmi446]

If it's going to help you lose weight and change your life then it's worth it. Also you get updates for life so that a bonus too

I have the cookbook... And I think it's all the same recipes that are on KZbin. Every recipe has a KZbin link, I'm not sure if any of them are unlisted videos.

[@rokturi]

my country has none of those products, lol, not even extra lean ground beef, sad... really enjoyed the banana bread though, that one was amazing, the whole family loved it!

[@Dominik.S.]

The only necessary substitution in the video was the lean ground beef and you could make that yourself if you have a blender or food processor. You don't need light mayo or light ketchup if you're only using 10 grams of it anyways

[@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556]

i just use ground/minced chicken, since that is only 5% fat and cheaper than beef anyway.

[@SpawnofVork]

this was delicious! scrapped the sauce for no sugar bbq and added sweet potato fries - thoroughly enjoyed!

0:35, An air-fryer needs a little amount of oil. People who exclude it COMPLETELY will never get any crispy dishes out of it

[@rampage222555]

Another option to reduce calories is to use keto buns. They are half the calories and double the protein of regular buns, and replace the carbs with a crap ton of fiber. They arent that different in taste either.

[@owenklein1917]

Tbh, just throw out the mayo. It isn’t worth it for the calories. And you’re usually able to find buns in the store that are crazy low calorie.

Just mustard on a burger is the 🐐

[@owenklein1917]

This is actually close to what I did when I went on my weight loss, tho I ate a bigger portion of burgers and left out fries. I found a 170kcal chilli cheese sauce and I only put that on burgers. Ate 3 Burgers a day lost 30kg. Tho i gained back a bit cause i injured my lower spine so the lakc of movement worked against me. I should get back into it soon tho.

[@izmael_kneafcy]

I think your rubber spatula may have not been the best tool. They don’t seem to get underneath meat that is getting a bit stuck. I have pulled the skin off fish so many times. Nice burger tips for a healthy lower calorie treat.

[@Clobercow1]

Let the beef cook longer on one side and it will release better. Or, add more fat to the pan, or try a little more fat in the beef.

[@Carl007Jr]

This is super awesome, though I will say that many cheeseburgers I eat do land in this range of 600-800 calories, max.

[@adamarzo559]

Lol the brioche buns I use are 161 calories. I would try to find different buns because brioche are way better and for 20~ calories more 100% worth it.

[@MetsuNoShin]

I actually like miracle whip balance as mayo substitute. It has like.. 120~140 cal.

[@E6hosting]

What about salad cream instead of mayo? It probably negates the need for ketchup too.

[@KennedyMiller-h3t]

very deliciou meal. I wrapped the meat patty in the iceberg lettuce leaf instead of the bum and was very delicious en even more lower calories.

[@ThetruthTalker1312]

When it comes to mayo i have a light version that tastes actually the same as 1 tablespoon has 46 calories

[@ponchoskunk420]

When I use Mayo, I just use the Avocado Mayo from Primal Kitchen and Sir Kensington because even though they're as caloric as regular Mayo, those brands literally only use avocado oil instead of canola or other vegetable oil so at least the fat profile is better. (they also be expennnnnsive)

[@bobfergisson847]

Wow those potatoes look amazingly crispy! And 670 kcal for burger + fries is very good result! A MCDonald's Royal Fresh burger itself has 600, but yours have twice more meat, and also includes potatoes!

[@unrelativistic]

I dislike mayo on burgers with a passion. Maybe because I'm from Texas and traditionally we use Mustard on our burgers. Or you can do ketchup & mustard. If you like tangy / pungent flavors, then mustard is a great low-cal choice.

[@robertdejesus7182]

For those who haven’t had Thomy mayo… it’s addicting af.

[@blommie857]

I will also add lettuce and tomato

[@pawewronowski4222]

Mayo may be heavily rich in fat, but it also is not as harmful to losing weight as ketchup, which has an insane amount of sugar in it, not even taking into consideration how much processed it is compared to mayo (which you can easily make yourself)

[@MtFoxt]

Losing weight is just calories in and calories out not that difficult to understand.

[@KandiKontent]

idk what ketchup you are eating but my bottle is 25 calories in 2 tbsp which is more than enough sauce for a person

[@Jang9851]

Great video. However a more effective way to lose weight for a burger would be use a keto bun. If the one day you wanted to eat a burger have a low carb >30 g day and because fat won't and high calories wont cause an insulin spike you can use regular 80/20 ground beef for your patty and regular mayo. Essentially you will reach the same calories but because of the extra fibre in the bun you will get extremely low insulin spike that will cause any fat storage from a a burger meal.

[@jacksonhannibal9795]

Do you have an idea for super low calorie crepes? 30-35 cal /each ?

[@aaronhoward646]

What is a good alternative to an air fryer? \:I

[@KytexEdits]

Alternative: Use no potatoes, instead boil broccoli (for me 200-250g), roast them with 3-4g oil in the oven, and then finish with 2-5g parmeggiano reggiano and melt it. This combined with me making the burger with a little less bun and more meat made this meal have 30% protein, and is incredibly satiating with the broccoli. Always use salt, garlic powder, and onion powder on the brocoli, or I will find yo- jk but seriously I call it the trinity spices of roasting stuff for a reason lol. Felu's version is great, but if you're a freak of nature like me that can eat itself to death like a dog from hunger, this will likely keep you satiated at least a bit longer.

[@itzsired]

I dont think regular mayo & cheese would ruin your diet considering your eating a high protein lean beef burger that already has tomatoes lettuce & pickles if anything itll help cause itll kill your burger craving
