Tips
- Rinse the protein pasta after cooking to make it taste like regular pasta.
- Use as much lettuce as desired for added volume.
- For the lowest calories, use the leanest ground beef available.
- If fat-free Thousand Island dressing is not available, use the light version.
- Pickles are very low in calories, so you can add as many as you want.
