A FITNESS loss pro has shared her family-friendly cheeseburger recipe — which she says is diet-friendly, too.

The influencer has lost 50 pounds since she started on her weight loss journey.
Her hard-working recipes included riffs of fast food favorites, reimagined in a more nutritionally beneficial way.
In a recent clip, she shared a recipe for “cheeseburger crunchers,” a weight-loss-friendly meal her family loves.
The first step in the recipe was to grab a Mission carb balance flour wrap.
MaKayla then mixed a homemade burger sauce by combining light mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and cajun seasoning.
After placing the wrap on a cutting board, she spread it with the sauce.
The influencer then fried up some lean burger meat off-camera before piling it on top of the sauce.
For extra flavor, she liked to include chopped pickles and onion but said this is optional.
The next step was to place a whole low-calorie cheese stick atop the pile of meat.
MaKayla then demonstrated to viewers how she tightly rolled the wrap to make it ready to be heated.
She instructed viewers to spritz the crunchers with cooking spray and air fry them at 380 degrees for three to four minutes.
Optionally, you could also fry the wraps in avocado oil on the stove.
The content creator served the cheeseburger crunchers with a side of green beans and some chips – plus extra burger sauce for dipping.
She cut a wrap in half and demonstrated an impressive cheese pull when she separated it.
Commenters were huge fans of the recipe, with many determined to give it a go.
One person wrote: “This is on the menu tonight and my kiddo just snuck one and said, ‘Mom, this is so bomb.'”
Another said: “This looks delish and easy to make. Thanks for sharing!”
