This came from the Weight Watchers website and sounds like a really yummy grilled meal. It's Core (low energy density) as prepared below, however if you eat it on a bun then that's considered part of the weekly 35 points.

Grilled pineapple adds a sweet balance to these savory burgers. We serve them bunless but you can turn them into sandwiches as well. (Add points for the bun.)
Ingredients
* 1 pound uncooked lean ground beef (with 7% fat)
* 1/4 cup scallion(s), sliced
* 3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
* 1 Tbsp ginger root, freshly grated
* 2 tsp minced garlic
* 4 slice pineapple, four 1/2-inch-thick rings
* 1/2 medium vidalia onion(s), cut into four 1/4-inch-thick rounds
* 4 sprays cooking spray
* 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
Instructions
* Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
* In a medium bowl, combine beef, scallions, teriyaki sauce, ginger and garlic until thoroughly mixed; form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
* Off heat, lightly coat burgers, pineapple and onion with cooking spray; place on grill. (Never spray cooking spray onto an open flame.)
* Grill pineapple, turning once, until lightly charred, about 4 minutes; remove from grill and cover to keep warm. Grill burgers and onions, turning once, until burgers are desired degree of doneness and onions are lightly charred and tender, about 7 to 9 minutes.
* To serve, place 1 burger on each of 4 plates. Top each with 1 slice of onion (separated into rings) and 1 slice of pineapple; sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of cilantro. Yields 1 burger per serving.
