Guilt Free Low Fat Hamburgers Recipe

Everybody loves hamburgers, but because of their association with fast food, they have a reputation for being fattening and certainly not deserving of a spot on a weight loss diet.

This reputation is unfortunate, because hamburgers can be very nutritious and be a stample item on a weight loss diet. These hamburgers fall into that category and are absolutely delicious.

This recipe is low fat, low sugar and a good source of protein.
