Steers chicken burger
A succulent beef patty smothered in barbeque basting, served on a fresh bun with all the trimmings is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Steers. But if you’re looking for something a little friendlier to your waist, a standard chicken burger is the way to go.

Takeaway tips
- Go for grilled. Trade in fried foods for grilled options to cut calories and unhealthy fats.
- Toss out the chips. Chips can add unnecessary calories to any meal. Leave them behind or swap them for a salad.
- Skip the add-ons. Sauces, salad dressings and extra cheese can rack up the calorie count of any meal. Stay away from
these or go for low-fat options. - Be size savvy. Don’t upsize your meal and avoid combo options. Stick with regular sized meals or try a kid’s meal.
- Think before you drink. Soft drinks are loaded with sugar and can send your calorie intake through the roof. Give the
sweet stuff a miss and wash down your meal with water instead.
