When the weather starts to get warm, there's nothing better than barbecue! But a typical cheeseburger can pack around 350 calories and 14 grams of fat! If you're trying to avoid a calorie overload but unwilling to give up one of your warm-weather favorites, just switch to a tuna burger! Studies show that tuna packs a tasty trifecta of nutrients including inflammation-reducing omega-3s, emotion-enhancing B vitamins and serotonin-increasing vitamin D. Tuna is also a good source of lean protein, which helps to sharpen awareness and alertness. With all this positive hype around tuna, iMag found a tasty burger recipe you'll love. Bon appetite and goodbye belly bulge!
