Carl's JR NEW Charbroiled Turkey Burgers
Anybody try these new "healthier" alternatives yet?
Created with the help of Men’s Health, the trio of “healthier” burgers – all coming in at under 500 calories. In addition to a Turkey Burger identical to the Hardees version (Charbroiled Patty, Red Onion, Tomato, Lettuce, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, Dill Pickle Chips), Carl’s Jr. will also serve up Turkey variations of their popular Teriyaki and Guacamole Burgers. According to this press release, the Teriyaki Burger (470 calories) will feature Teriyaki sauce, a grilled pineapple, and Swiss cheese, while the Guacamole Burger (490 calories) will feature guacamole and pepper jack cheese.

Why is that so funny? Take off the cheese, and it's another 50-100 less. So unless something is what 200-300 calories, it's not healthy for you?
Besides, the whole point is it's healthier than a burger or chicken sandwich.

Well I would say that you should just eat at home and cook yourself if you are health conscious

Considering most people eat 3 times a day, 500 calories is insufficient for most people if they are active. Better get fries.
If your other 2 meals are planned well, you should never feel guilty about a 1200 calorie dinner. It won't kill you. It really won't. Sitting on your butt all day is what will kill you.

I have a sudden craving for a "burger"*.
*In the the Theo and Cockroach sense.

I had the Turkey Burger today. It was pretty decent. The char on the patty was just right and it was well constructed. The lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh and the sandwich wasn't slathered with sauce. 
As fast food goes, you could do much worse.

I'd try one of these. If I ever eat fast food, which is rare, I get a BBQ chicken sandwich here. These seem like a tastier alternative.

Tried the one on the left today. It was surprisingly delicious. I'll definitely get it again. I may try the BBQ ranch one next time.
