Sure, it’s not my recipe, I just followed this guy’s recipe: https://youtu.be/l7RAaLZZDZI
I also like Jalalsalamfit on YouTube, he has good stuff too.
Ethan Cheblowski has a great channel, it’s not a health focused cooking channel but he’s an ex-fat person too so he tries to stay cognizant of macros in all the recipes he showcases. Good for learning the systems for cooking healthier. He has a video talking about the systems he applies : https://youtu.be/c1EpTfvPc84
Yeah it takes some more selective choices, but you can make some really good delicious and healthy meals. Certain kinds of foods like deep-fried butter sticks are out of the question but I’ve had a huge brick of cheesecake for breakfast everyday this week because I made it healthy.

Took a while but I changed my usual cooking recipes to macro-friendly versions and my family hasn’t minded at all, still tastes great. Trying to eat healthy outside the house is hard as hell though. Restaurants or premade foods rarely offer anything that fits my needs.
Like conceptually the hard part about eating burgers is the high carb buns and the excess fat in the meat. Can just use 93/7 ground beef, there’s only 170cal in a quarter pound, so why not double it? You just need to be much more careful when cooking it because the lower fat gives you less margin for error. Dress it with a spicy jalapeno cream sauce using Greek yogurt instead to bring back some of the moisture but without adding fat. Use something lower carb than potato roll or buttered brioche and you end up with a juicy burger with a lot more meat than what you’ll get from a restaurant and tastes better if you make it for yourself than some overworked line cook who doesn’t have to eat what he’s firing out the kitchen as fast as possible.
I feel that. Trying to make friends online and realizing everyone on the other side is typicallu in their 20s, and while you can enjoy the same things, it’s hard to relate to each other. We’re just not in the same place in life. Joined a discord called “Old Folks” and it’s still people aged 20-30.
To a degree yes. Moisture in general will limit browning. Fresh ground beef is usually dry enough. Frozen and defrosted ground beefwill have ice/water. Patting it dry with a paper towel takes care of this.
Ground turkey in particular is super wet all the way through so paper towels won’t really be able to get it all. To brown ground turkey, you put a big patty on the grill and don’t break it up, then wait for several minutes. This allows the surface to evaporate the water and then begin browning. If you break it open it will release the water inside the big ball of meat and it’ll take forever to evaporate enough for browning to start. You break it open later on after you’ve browned top and bottom.
That’s pretty dubious, otherwise why would I get all these replies from 3-7 years ago? Not new replies on dead threads, but the replies were posted that long ago, and I’m being notified about them now as “new” comments. Seems a lot like deleted posts coming back.
