I had to work at 4pm and had a good stick-with-you snack before I left. It was super exciting – I did my first Fitness Evaluation! Ah! More on this later
Then, I ate a boring dinner that will be consumed once a day for the next 12 weeks. (You know, cause I’m busy and hungry = no time to cook.)
Finally, it was time to go pick up Ben! Since he had to go through customs and LAX is a clusterf#ck it took forever. Finally, I had to park so I could go pee. There are only so many times I can circle the terminal!
On the way there I got him the new Carl’s Jr. Guacamole Turkey Burger for dinner.
We were driving, so no picture but I did take a bite and had a few fries. I thought it was good for fast food. But, you can put guacamole on a shoe and I’d eat it.
Have you guys seen Carl’s Jr’s new line of under 500 calorie turkey burgers?! I only eat fast food when I’m super wasted (which only occurs in Vegas), so these new burgers don’t mean anything to me. But, I am happy that there are healthier options out in the world!
They also have meat free burgers! If only fast food places would create a good veggie burger…
Thoughts on the new Turkey Burgers?
lynn @ the actor's diet says
if you’re ever in LA go to astroburger:

they make THE BEST veggie ones. but only the one on santa monica – the other locations, for some reason, suck!
Pam says
Love their turkey burgers!! So satisfying!! My hubby and I tried one on the way home from Vegas!! Love it! I had the teriyaki one. If you ever want to go on a turkey burger lunch date “Holla!!” 🙂
Rachel @ The Perseverance Diaries says
No Carl’s Jr. here in Manhattan but if they did have one I would for sure try the veggie burger!
Amber K says
Being a non-meat eater and needing things gluten-free that pretty much cuts out fast food for me. Although back when I did eat fast food the burger would have to be WAY lower than 500 calories, you gotta save room for FRIES! 🙂
Elizabeth@The Sweet Life says
I love Vitatops–such a super invention!!!
Kathleen says
I am curious about them but hardly do fast food and if I do it’s usually subway.
Gina says
I’ve had the BK Veggie Burger before and it’s not that bad. They use a Morningstar Farms Veggie patty in it.
Kelly says
Am I hallucinating or does it say that there is bacon on the veggie burger?
Happy Healthy Runner says
I saw that too! I’ve re-read it several times looking for how bacon fits in with all that…
Lauren says
Doesn’t’ BK have a Veggie Burger? I think fast food veggie burgers have to be the most processed of them all. Happy Ben made it home safe and sound! 🙂
Jen says
That turkey burger does look really good! I wish more places would offer healthy alternatives; that actually tasted good!!
