    no-buns-about-it animal-style cheeseburger
    In-N-Out Burger is one of my OBSESSIONS, and it’s totally possible to eat there guilt-free—a single Protein Style burger with ketchup and mustard (instead of the special sauce) has just 160 calories. But not everyone has an In-N-Out where they live, and even if they do, the lines are CRAZY. Now you can enjoy the same AMAZING burger-ific taste at home. I’ve stepped it up by doing a swap for the fatty ’n famous “animal-style” burger. Yum!
