northwest. we are mainly about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday with a bit of a cool down inhe northwest as a front approaches. the fron >> and that's your latest forecast. savannahah >> all right, dylan, thank yoyo now toour special series what the he can are you eating where we're remaking your favorite foods into healthier option. today nutritionest expert jay bauer tackled pizza, and this morning it's all about the burger. >> here in amemeca the hamburgrg has pretty much become our national food. in fact, we eat more meat than any other country in the world, and reports show americans collectively eat over 50 billion burgers a year. holy cow, literally. so what's the beef with your diet? well, all hamburgers are not created equal. the type of patty, portion size, choice of bun and toppings can mean the difference beten a relative healthy or unhealthy me. i'll start with the bright side.

standard backyard burger on a classic bun,o double decker action piled with lettuce, tomatoes tomatoes, pickles and onions the sandwich will run you between 3030 and00 calories, so not so bad, right. why the do burgers get a bad rap because restaurants and creative chefs have turned them into fattening nstross industries from supersize the buns toasted with bun and slathered with mayo and special cause to topping like cheese, bacon and fried onions and some burgers have more than 1,000alories and load your system wh a day's worth of saturate thefafa that's the type of fat that c c rates risk for heart attacks and diabetes. the bottom lines, are burgers grillworthy? of course, but whenever possible prepare your own burrs at home so that you can have fl control over what goes in and whattays out.

at least 90% lean. poultry your church and whole grain buns piled with lettuce, tomato onions and even sauteed shroomssnd sliced avocado. love cheeseburgers, a slice will suffice, and one to two squirts of ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce and even salsa work well, too, and dig in. as for the times you're dining out in the restaurant i have three words. keep it simple. stick with a standard burger, pile on the produce and consider disc the top bun to save yourself00 calories. now that you know what the heck you're eating, build a better burger today. >> all right. joy, got our marching orders. good morning. >> good morning. >> so you're building a better burger. th first thing that's really key is the kind of meat you choose. >> that's right. >> so when you're making a burgrg at home and you're in the ocery store because it can getet overwhelming with all the pack amsa, just want to make sure

chicken or turkey that it's at least 90% lean, so usually you tend to see 93/7, 93% lean and 7% fat. >> that's good. >> and then you know that your burger is going to be low in calories and packed with protein. >> that's great. some people cannot give up the bred. >> and you don't have to.( when it comes to the bun go for whole grain, not necessarily because you're going to save a lot of calories because you're going to shower your body with extra nutrition, whole grain buns, standard buns clock in at about 140 or go for the sandwich(% flats whi are 100 calories. english muffins come in whole grain, whole grain pita breads. some people are carbs phobic and don't like any carbs, you could wrap your burr if you want in lettuce leaves or grill port blah mush rumm caps. >> that's actually pretty tasty. >> you're killing me with the lettuce lves though but i'll

i'll show you how to make a con cheeseburger. >> okay. typically a bacon cheese burger is 1,100 calories. my version is only 425. >> how did you do it, joy? >> have a whole grain bun and swapped the fatty pork bacon for an turkey bacon, one slice of reduced fat cheese because it automatically will trim off 40 calories and i have my more than 90% leeuwenburger, lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, if you want, low-fat mayo? i'd split it with you, and gets us down to 212.5. taste it. >> this is really good. >> isn't that good.

because if you didn't and now we're going on to the set and you're going in sorkin speed you're left behind. >> and just in case anybody has y impressioio aaron is not the kind of writer/director who says, sure, just ad lib or this is just a suggestion. have your way with my wor it's like you've got to have it right down to the punctuation mark? it's word for word and t tt's what broadway is. playwrights, you don't ad lib, oh, i don't have to write it. i did "the hours" ma meryl streep and*she was walking in and you've got david here, do i have to write, it too, and whenever you get an aaron sorkin, great, he writes, it i tact? here you are playing a real person john scully and as i understand it you had chance to meet withh him as well. did that add to you portrait, because as you've said in terviews in the past youre not trying to do an impersonation of john scully. >> it's really a dramatization

of events and people and john was a great source of information. he really helped, and you could stilil see how much the relationship relationship mattered to john years and years later. they didn't get to reconcile, a betrayal according to steve a it ended like that and now steve's ne. there's regret there and pain there, and i was able to put that intnttheovie and give john a complete picture. >> the movie is not without controversy, i mean, for example, apple ceo tom cook has talked about it, la uralene jobs, what do you make of that in. >> i don't care because at the end of the day he's a great historical fire. he changed the world. henry ford change the the world and thomas edisis, edison, oppenheimer, steve was one of those guys, and those guys that create -- the creative genius that goes behind those guys,

i love that we had -- we have the opporornity to showcase one of the great creative visionaries that the world has ever had and that means the good and t bad. >> speaking of creative, you are also in "the martian," got that role,and going on tour with your son's band. tell me a aut that. >> the ben daniels band we start friday and g g out for november because that's what an actor should do,ick up a guy tar and go to clubs and opera houses and play with his son's band because that makes you young. >> exactly. just hold on. >> that's right. >> jeff daniels, thank you so mumu, always a pleasure and "steve jobs" from our sister company universal is playing in select theaters and, bands nationwide. >> coming up, a live performance
