President Donald Trump has made a tweak to his diet.

Rudy Giuliani told the Washington Post that when the two met for lunch recently, Trump ate a burger, but with only half a bun as a means of making it healthier. Trump didn’t change what was inside the half-bun: The burger was still cooked well-done, as he likes it.

The former New York City mayor, who is now part of Trump’s legal team, told the newspaper he sometimes goes with half a bun on burgers himself.

“It’s a good way to do it,” Giuliani, who ate a Cobb salad at the Trump meeting, said.

In January, White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson told the president to eat better and lose about 10 to 15 pounds. However, Jackson also pronounced Trump to be in “excellent” health despite his well-known love of fast food.

“You know, I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old,” Jackson said at the time, per The Hill.

Trump’s burger tweak included more bun than in the past. Last year, former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Trump’s typical McDonald’s order while on the campaign trail was two Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish and a chocolate milkshake. But at that point, the future president wasn’t eating the buns at all.

“Well, he never ate the bread, which is the important part,” Lewandowski said on CNN. “He was busy campaigning. We didn’t have time to sit down for a meal.”

My uncle invented the Cobb salad, you know?

Man, I made a killer keto salad yesterday and made enough of the fixins for another one today and maybe tomorrow:

The mix: cukes, avocado, vine-ripe tomatoes, kalamata olives, celery, onions, mini bell peppers (red and yellow), boiled eggs, bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, parmesan, all soaked in extra virgin olive oil.

Atop a bed of arugula and spinach, topped with broccoli sprouts.

And skin-on chicken thighs (crispy skin coooked in Tony's, bacon grease and avocado oil) doused in Frank's buffalo sauce with bleu cheese dressing.

Holy damn.

Pardon hijack.

Trump has the best diet, doesn't he folks? (but well-done meat--cmon dude).

ETA: I see the random downvoting epidemic has reached the HFB. Sad. We're already anonymous (well, you people are--I'm dumb), why not just say what you want to say? I must confess though, it wasn't my uncle who invented the Cobb Salad, it was my grandfather. I don't tell many people that.

ETA2: (reply to post below)--why is it dumb to eat ground meat less than well done, especially if you're the president and can get the best quality and cleanest kitchen, folks?

I'm an unapologetic carnivore who eats beef, pork or chicken at least once a day. I've been sick precisely once from meat, and that was a fresh ribeye straight from the butcher that I cooked myself on a very hot and clean grill. (But my WBC was still low, so probably just me.)

I agree on steaks (muscle cuts). But eating ground beef not well done is dumb.

He's getting so much sugar from that meal that he might as well have eaten the buns too.

The milkshake is probably the only really high sugar content thing there

Those dietary choices make no sense. Avoid carbs with no buns, get tons of carbs in milkshakes. There are 84 g carbs in the milkshake. It seems bent on shooting for the greaseiest things on the menu.

Maybe I'm out of step, but downing a bunless Filet O Fish and 2 bunless Big Macs, then washing it down with a chocolate milkshake seems disgusting.

Yes.

And there's 74 grams of sugar in a small chocolate milkshake from McDonalds. 80 grams total without the buns from the sandwiches.

He failed miserably at going "keto lite." And unless he's intermittent fasting, he probably failed at his total calorie intake for the day as that one meal is ~1700 calories without the buns.

From a shady restaurant? sure. If the meat has been sitting in your fridge for a few days? sure. Fresh ground beef? Gimme dat medium burger.

I want to know what McDonald's you people are going to where they ask how you want your burger done? The McDonald's I go to, being picky about how you want your Big Mac done just means the dude working the grill is gonna rub his junk on it.

That's all normal people ask in burger prep at McDonald's IMO. No bodily fluids on it, cooked enough to kill the e coli and that's solid prep at the golden arches.

They don't ask and it's not likely an option even via special request

I lost sight of the fact that we were talking about fast food.

It's not random. Your post sucks and isn't funny.

Are you? Or are you an omnivore like the rest of the human population?
