This again; is there seriously anyone who ate these things and thinks they are healthy? Or anyone who eats burgers and thinks they are healthy? As vegetarian I like them once a month and it would be great if they were extremely good for us; I think we will get there, but for now; if you bake one, smell one, feel one; it definitely does justice to the original; it feels fatty and unhealthy. Which is great as it is better for the world, but healthy, nah.

Yes, we eat burgers all the time sans the bun and it's an incredibly nutritious meal with a perfect mix of macro-nutrients. Great protein, good source of fat, and tons of nutrients. Hard to beat honestly.

  I wonder how many non-keto people would be making this claim... > "a perfect mix of macro-nutrients" What is this "perfect mix"? who is determining this? Macronutrients say very little about how good a food it for you. > "Great protein, good source of fat, and tons of nutrients. Hard to beat honestly." Hamburgers contain trans fat[1], cholesterol[2], Neu5Gc[3], heme iron[4] and other cancer causing compounds from cooking/charring[5].

    > Hamburgers contain trans fat This is pretty misleading. Animal fat has a very small amount of trans fat. The main source of trans fat is hydrogenated vegetable oil, which was invented to be a cheap, "healthy" alternative to lard and tallow.

      > Hamburgers contain trans fat > This is pretty misleading. Animal fat has a very small amount of trans fat I'm sorry, but what was misleading? I didn't say "most trans fat in hamburgers is from animal fat". Pointing out that a main source is probably hydrogenated vegetable oil does not negate the animal fat source or the amount of trans fat overall.
