i eat boca burgers from time to time. i have found one that has about 15 grams of protein. sometimes i add a slice of weight watchers lf american cheese which adds about another 4 grams. it's a pretty fililng "meal" and i have found i tolerate it well (RNY). :)

Same here.Sometimes I get whatever store brand, but I still tolerate them well.But one is all I can eat at one time, for sure! I like to add low fat cheese too. Sometimes I add a little salsa for more veg and flavor.

I love them! In fact, at one point in my journey at year 4 po...I gained 10 lbs and eating veggie burgers often as a meal was an awesome lower calorie high protein/high fiber choice! I eat TVP (textured veggie protein) which is what many of those "burgers" are made from for other recipes like chili, meatballs, stuffed peppers, stuffed cabbage and any recipe you might use ground meat... Soy is a complete protein unlike most other veggies that have protein and need other foods to complete the protein chain...So it's a great lean substitute for meat...I make swiss and mushroom burgers, mozz cheeese and sauce burgers, salsbury steak type with brown gravy, salsa and cheddar with jalapeno pepper rings!....You can use them in soooo many ways besides using the regular burger toppings...You can even cut in half and roll up in a large lettuce leaf for a breadless burger with all the topping inside! It's a great choice! I eat them regularly and with all the flavor options, they don't get boring at all!!!
