First up, the royal classic -- the burger. Of course there are radical healthier alternatives to a nice fatty beef burger, like a Portobello mushroom burger or a tempeh patty, but for all you meat eaters out there, those don’t seem like such exciting prospects.

Instead, let’s stick to beef, but when shopping, opt for the lean ground beef instead of the regular -- fattier -- ground beef.

A three-ounce cooked patty of lean ground beef contains around 164 calories and 2.9 grams of saturated fat. That comes down to around 70 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat less than the same patty made with regular ground beef.

Another way to quickly make your favorite burgers healthier is by simply adding some freshly sliced avocado. They're a great source of flavor and are cholesterol- and sodium-free.

Contrary to previous popular belief, not all fats are the same. Saturated fats are often thought of as bad because they raise cholesterol levels in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Avocados are a great source of the “good” type of fat and are packed with flavor, making them a great addition to punch up your burgers.
