Dialysis is a treatment that does some of the things done by healthy kidneys. It is needed when your own kidneys can no longer take care of your body's needs.
Homemade Burgers. Homemade burgers aren't exactly low in calories, either. A patty made from 1/4 pound of 85 percent lean hamburger has about 193 calories, a regular hamburger bun adds 117 calories and a tablespoon of ketchup adds 19 calories.
Both the size of the burger and the type of ground beef you use to make it affect the protein content of the final product. For a juicy burger, Country Living recommends using 80-percent lean ground chuck. A typical quarter-pound burger made with this type of ground beef has 204 calories and 20 grams of protein. Opt for the 95-percent lean ground beef instead and you'll decrease the calories to 141 while increasing the protein to 22.2 grams. If you go with the fattier, but less expensive 70-percent lean ground beef, you'll wind up getting 183 calories and 17.6 gram of protein per patty.
