    I hate Morningstar and Boca!

    Try Gardein. They have some lovely "burgers". I like them grilled or seared in a little bit of Zoye oil. Eat on a whole wheat bun with onion, tomato, lettuce, swiss cheese and a little A1 - YUM!

    They're like just about any other pre-made food: it'll depend on the brand and/or what they are made of if you make them yourself.

    So if you have one you don't care for, don't write them all off. Some I find quite tasty, some taste quite horrid. Just play around to find what you like.

    I'm a vegetarian and I love everything from Quorn. Its a change of texture from Veg and Carbs. They're so much lower in fat too.

    I'm a vegetarian and I love Morningstar Farms Grillers Prime! They are my favorite. Quorn makes some good ones too...classic and cheeseburger varieties.

    Yup, here too!

    Question for the meat-eaters who enjoy veggie burgers. Which ones do you think taste more like the 'real thing'? I haven't eaten meat for almost 40 years, so I'm no longer a good judge of this.

    The home-made black bean burgers when properly prepared and seasoned.

    Morningstar makes good black bean burgers, but my favorite is boca vegan burgers.

    I am a meat eater, but I adore mushrooms. I love the Morningstar Mushroom Lover's burger with some sauteed onions and a bit of goat cheese! Sometimes I add a smear of pesto.

    I just made these black bean burgers last night and they are amazing. If you wrap them in lettuce and leave out the avacado it is under 200 calories too! (although I definetly plan on having it with avacado as soon as mine ripen).

    I make my own, that is the only way I eat them. I figure the ones from the store are either too expensive, full of salt or totally overprocessed so why bother? Just my opinion though! Plus, making your own is WAAAAAAY cheaper. The recipe below is the one I normally use. I omit the breadcrumbs, otherwise they are too dry for me.

    Running it through a nutrition calculator w/o the breadcrumbs they come out to 175 each. That is for 6 burgers from one recipe. They have 11.5 grams of fiber and 10.5 grams of protein. Pretty nutritionally dense in my opinion.

    Here's the recipe:

    I eat a veggie burger just about everyday, and my favorite are the Boca Vegan Original burgers. They only have 70 calories are are my fav!!

    If you're interested in chicken substitutes, the Morningstar Farm Chicken patties and Buffalo Wings are wonderful!

    Before I cut soy completely out of my diet I'd eat Boca burgers. I'd try Quorn products but its too expensive considering how little protein I get per patty. I have tons of black beans and mung beans, so maybe I'll browse for a good recipe. But none of the products I'd eaten remotely tasted anything like meat and I do not expect them to either.
