    Lettuce, tomato and onion are not unhealthy.  The cheese and meat may possibly be, but the real culprit is the bread and possibly any "special sauce" that's added.

    I tried that on my mom once.  I still had to eat my peas!

  • A burger with lettuce tomato, cheese and onion isn't alone unhealthy. It's unhealthy to eat too much of it or to eat too many fries with it. It's also unhealthy to have a beverage that has too much sugar with the meal.

    We rarely make these, but it sounded good, so we did. No fries, no soda.I don't drink beverages with my meals.

    Yes, healthier than just bread, dressings, and meat.

    Sounds like a balanced meal to me.

    It's what we made for supper, but we added bacon. Delish.

    Sounds good as long as the bacon is crisp. 

    My doctor told me while I was pregnant that he considered pizza a good meal as long as it was a supreme with all the veggies on it. Because it has all the food groups.  (I did/do not eat that kind of pizza....but the advise still shocked me)

    Skipping the bun with all those starchy carbs is the best way to make it healthier to eat.

    Sugary carbs are worse. I understand that McDonald's in some parts of the US uses sweet buns.

    Yes, in much the same way that emptying the ash tray in a Mack truck improves the payload.
