This simple recipe with burgers, spinach and mushrooms provides high levels of satiety and nutrient density.
The burgers provide tons of bioavailable protein and all the B vitamins, choline, iron, phosphorus and zinc. Leaner options (e.g. lean beef, kangaroo or venison) will be better for rapid fat loss, while higher-fat lamb or fattier beef will have a more luxurious taste.
Spinach boosts vitamins A and K1, and folate, while cottage cheese adds calcium and extra protein and rounds out the texture profile.
