Yes, we eat burgers all the time sans the bun and it's an incredibly nutritious meal with a perfect mix of macro-nutrients. Great protein, good source of fat, and tons of nutrients. Hard to beat honestly.

I wonder how many non-keto people would be making this claim... > "a perfect mix of macro-nutrients" What is this "perfect mix"? who is determining this? Macronutrients say very little about how good a food it for you. > "Great protein, good source of fat, and tons of nutrients. Hard to beat honestly." Hamburgers contain trans fat[1], cholesterol[2], Neu5Gc[3], heme iron[4] and other cancer causing compounds from cooking/charring[5].

  > Hamburgers contain trans fat This is pretty misleading. Animal fat has a very small amount of trans fat. The main source of trans fat is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which was invented to be a cheap, "healthy" alternative to lard and tallow.

    > Hamburgers contain trans fat > This is pretty misleading. Animal fat has a very small amount of trans fat I'm sorry, but what was misleading? I didn't say "most trans fat in hamburgers is from animal fat". Pointing out that a main source is probably hydrogenated vegetable oil does not negate the animal fat source or the amount of trans fat overall.
