‘Losing weight doesn’t mean you have to miss out on your favourite foods,’ Jordan said in the video.
‘This is one of my favourite meals to make, it is super healthy and super yummy.’

She cooked the chips in the air fryer for up to 20 minutes, chopped 50g of iceberg lettuce and diced 30g of brown onion. To replicate the classic Big Mac sauce, she combined 10mL of tomato sauce with 5mL of mustard

To ensure the meal was no more than 420 calories, Jordan weighed each ingredient on her kitchen scale. Jordan then weighed 10g of cheese, 100mL of extra lean beef mince and 1.5 burger thins.
The beef mince was split into two burger patties then cooked in a greased pan on the stove top. Once the burger thins were toasted, Jordan assembled the burger and served with the chips on the side
