Meatloaf with w/o all the guilt

This meatloaaf has less than half the fat and a third of the calories that our classic comfort meatloaf has. 
* the secret is using 93% lean beef, replacing 8 oz of beef with veggies , adding oats and only using egg whites 

1lb ground beef ( 93-95% lean 
1 cup chopped onions 
1 cup shred carrots 
1 cup shred zucchini 
3/4 cup old fashion oats 
2 egg whites ( beating lightly) 
1 egg ( beating lightly) 
4 tbsp ketchup 
4 tbsp worcestershire sauce 
2 tbsp dijon mustard 
1/2 tsp thyme ( u could use basil if u dont have thyme) 
1/2 tsp pepper 
1/2 tsp salt ( thou i tend to leave it out) 

Get your oven going at 350 degrees, spray cooking spray in your loaf pan. I like to line mine with tinfoil or parchment paper. Helps to get the meatloaf out when done and make for a pretty presentation on the table 
~combine all your ingredients ( hold out 2 tbsp ketchup) mix it up well and press firmly in your pan Then drizzle the remainder of your ketchup on the top of your loaf. Place your loaf pan on a bake sheet and cook for an hr and 20 mins . Meat should not be pink and read 160 degrees.
