Salads can be had along with burgers instead of having the packer of chips. Refrain from going in for non-vegetarian burger and go in for a vegetarian burger. You can substitute drumsticks for chicken breast and these are healthy too. Do not go in for high calorie sauces and stick to homemade vegetable sauces that are equally tasty and low on calories.
