Italian Burgers and Zucchini Fries (Weight Watchers!)

Who doesn't love a burger and fries? Seriously. But who loves 2,000 calorie burgers and fries [which is what you're inhaling at most major chain restaurants -- don't believe me, look up the nutritional information... It'll probably scare you to death.] Here's the solution!!

This recipe is also compliments of EMeals -- If you've read any of my other EMeals inspired posts, you're already aware of how much I adore their product! If you're not familiar -- I'll provide you with the readers digest version -- It's a menu/shopping list planning program. They provide seven meal recipes per week with their corresponding shopping lists. You can select specific grocery stores or specific diets. I chose the portion control (read: Weight Watchers) -- and it's awesome! All for $1.25 a week! (Even cheaper if you're lucky enough to catch a promotion or perhaps a Groupon!)
