I mean, it depends on your definition of nutritious, and what you're expecting from a burger.
Should you eat one for every meal? Probably not. I don't think "a burger for every meal" has ever been on anyone's nutrition plan.
Is it reasonably nutritious compared to a meat burger? Yeah.
Compared to ground beef, a Beyond Burger is pretty equivalent in terms of fat and calories. The Beyond has a few more carbs (but far fewer than most veggie meat alternatives), but also a few grams of fiber.
The Beyond burger has quite a bit of sodium, but probably most ground beef would by the time you got it ready to cook.
- asdff 6y agoI think the beyond et al ranks worse after you cook it. When I cook with this stuff it has no fat inside to render out, so it soaks up cooking oil like a sponge to reach equilibrium. It's osmosis. I put in some olive oil in my pan to get some browning, and it's been soaked up dry in 30 seconds and I have to add more before the patty fuses to my pan. I can't help but think I'm eating a lot more grease. Not to mention you still need to use your salt and pepper and other seasonings, because it is quite bland. Probably intentionally to be widely palatable.
