Many versions use Greek yogurt in the sauce to boost protein while keeping the “Big Mac” flavor. (EarningTips.net)
You can also add:
- Roasted potatoes for extra carbs
- Turkey instead of beef
- Extra cheese or a fried egg for higher protein
For a meal-prep version, burger bowls are popular because they stay good in the fridge for 3–4 days. (EarningTips.net)
