If you love a cheeseburger and fries, you can add a Mediterranean diet twist by grilling instead of frying the burger patty, using a small amount of cheese, adding lettuce and tomato, and using a wholemeal bun, dietitian Kirsten Jackson told Insider.
Instead of fries, serve alongside a side salad or oven-baked potato wedges cooked in olive oil.
Another option would be a bean burger or grilled salmon burger, she said.
