Diner Dilemma

  • I'll be going to a diner tomorrow that offers some different choices and want to make a somewhat healthy choice. I've already eliminated the double cheeseburger, chili cheeseburger and regular hamburger but am left wondering which of the following has the lowest fat and calorie content:

    turkey burger
    ostrich burger
    buffalo burger

    They also offer a BBQ chicken sandwich and a lemon pepper chicken sandwich. What would you choose? Any help/insight would be appreciated.
  • Try the ostrich. I would choose something that I wouldn't make at home.
  • Thanks.. I ended up going with the ostrich burger. Pretty tasty. If anyone is curious, the diner had a sign posted on the nutrition content of the various burgers. In order of least caloric:

    1. ostrich
    2. buffalo
    3. veggie
    4. turkey
    5. beef

    Who would have guessed? It claimed the ostrich only had 147 calories per 1/3 lb patty!
  • I know buffalo is very lean. Before I read your response I was going to suggest that.
