Wishing for a huge, juicy, cheesy burger…
Also trying to find summer fat loss meals to get back on track?
You’re not alone, my friend.
The fight between flavor and fitness goals is a struggle.

Most of us have been there:
Trying to eat “clean” all week… but then the cravings sneak in.
You hit that drive-thru cheeseburger, and then BAM! The wheels fall off the wagon.

But what if you could enjoy the best part of the burger: the juicy meat, the cheese, the spread, – without the guilt, the bloat, or the energy crash?
Enter the ultimate solution: the Cheeseburger Salad.

CP’s Cheeseburger Salad: A High-Protein Salad Solution!

Same rich, savory taste…
Only this time? It’s just 284 calories with a whopping 35g of protein and only 13g of carbs! – making it a perfect fat loss meal for your summer body arsenal.

Breakdown per serving:

  • Calories: 284 
  • Protein: 35g 
  • Fat: 10g 
  • Net Carbs: 13g 
  • Prep Time: Under 10 minutes 
  • Price: Only $4.00 per serving (compared to $12+ at popular burger bowl spots) 

And because it’s so light and macro-friendly, you can volume eat this one like a boss – double the greens, or add pickles, tomatoes, or shredded lettuce for extra crunch without extra carbs or calories. 

Oh and for the dressing? Instead of a tablespoon…how about ⅓ cup of it! You get to drench the entire bowl in burger joint flavor. Want more? Another ⅓ cup is only 60 more cals & 6 more grams of protein. Never hold back on the spread again. You’re welcome 👊
