Does anyone know how the nutritional content compares? For me, the fact that I can cook a 300g burger that, after trimmings, is 1000+ calories is a big deal. Also the massive amounts of fat and protein, and the low carb profile. All these things make burgers a great meal choice for me (taste matters too obviously).
If these fake burgers are cheaper, have similar macros and calorie density, and are better for the environment, I am super interested.
- acchow 10y agoWhy is density important. Is cooking a 500g veggie burger that much more effort? (Its not, especially since you don't need it to be properly cooked)
- scythe 10y agoCan you eat a 500g burger? I can't. In fact I wouldn't even want to eat a 300g burger unless I was very hungry. That's 10.5 oz. 500g is 18 oz.

- Taek 10y agoThat's without the trimmings. Add buns, cheese, bacon, sauce, etc. and you can easily hit 1000.
