That being said if your fave veggie burger brand uses those ingredients, don't despair. These ingredients are made from plants, but are processed into flours, or powders, to be made into textured, mock meat, and may be lower in nutritional quality than the whole food, plant-based ingredients mentioned above. Veggies burgers that fall into this category include a black bean burger, chickpea burger, or any burgers made with brown rice, potatoes, carrots, oats, mushrooms, or other vegetables or legumes as the main ingredients.īut when it comes to ingredients that are harder to recognize like vital wheat protein, wheat gluten, pea protein, or soy protein isolate or concentrate- they're safe, but have them in moderation, says George. “In my book, a veggie burger is a plant-based burger with mostly vegetables & legumes,” explains George. If a veggie burger is low in protein and fiber and you don't want to skip it, though, get creative with nutrient- and fiber-dense toppings, like fresh veggies, hummus, and guac, and opt for a whole-grain or sprouted bun, Modell suggests. Otherwise, make sure a patty provides five-plus grams of protein and a few grams of fiber to fuel your body and keep you from feeling snacky an hour after your meal. “If you do not recognize ingredients or see ingredients that aren't real food, think twice.” (If you're keto, look for a patty made entirely of non-starchy vegetables, nuts, and seeds.) “When shopping for veggie burgers, look for ones that emphasize whole foods, such as whole grains, legumes, lentils, nuts and seeds,” says Modell. What to look for when buying veggie burgers: If you're ready to munch on one, but the bigger-than-ever selection has you overwhelmed, though, not to worry. There's also the convenience factor: "Veggie burgers are easy to freeze and to always have on-hand for a quick lunch, dinner, or snack,” says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, author of Read It Before You Eat It. Plus, not only are they sometimes a healthier choice for you, but they're also better for the planet, since meat consumption is linked to the release of greenhouse gases. Plus, certain brands fortify their patties with essential nutrients typically found in meat (like vitamin B12, zinc and iron). “Plant-based burgers have become a great, popular alternative to regular burgers because they have almost the same amount of protein as a regular burger, as well as less saturated fat, trans fat, and little to no cholesterol,” says registered dietician Krystal George.Ĭompared to their meat-based counterparts, veggie burgers tend to be very low in saturated fat and high in fiber, which is beneficial for heart health, according to nutritionist Brittany Modell, RD. In fact, plant-based burgers can now be found at many restaurants all across the U.S., and veggie burger brands like the Impossible Burger and Beyond Burger are practically ubiquitous.
