Ah thats a good tip! Thanks for that Sarah!
I hate using bread crumbs in them because I just know that its syns

 

[sarah83]

Me too! Saying that I would assume breadcrumbs do add something to them - only because practically all non-diet recipes for burgers have them in. However if you get used to not using them then I guess you don't miss them lol!

 

[elb4160]

True, I'll have to try them without next time I make some.
Do you still add an egg to yours to keep them together or do you reckon I wouldnt need one if not using breadcrumbs?

 

[sarah83]

I add some beaten egg - only enough to bring it together. Have made the mistake before of adding too much and the mixture just gets too wet. I didn't add any to my turkey burgers though as the sweet chilli sauce did the binding instead

I've forgotten to update this blooming thing again so I'll just add what I remember

Diary looking good - just be careful on jars of sauces, to make sure you get the syns right, it can differ quite drastically if it's not worked out right. I tend to go for the 20cals = 1 syn rule for anything like that.

Good amounts of superfree!

Oh flipping heck I'm cross with myself now!

A) I haven't been updating this because I haven't been eating properly!
B) I need to practise what I preach!
C) 2 bacon sandwiches on WHITE bread, fat NOT removed is not a suitable breakfast.
