Food Label for Burger: Beyond Meat
This Beyond Meat burger is a reasonable option, but not a health food. Benefits: * High protein (21g per patty) is good for satiety and muscle building. * Decent iron content (20% DV per patty). Concerns: * Fairly high in sodium (14% DV per patty). Watch your sodium intake for the rest of the day. * Contains processed ingredients like methylcellulose and potato starch. These aren't inherently harmful, but indicate a higher level of processing. * Avocado oil is a good fat source, but the overall fat content is moderate (18% DV per patty). Ingredients: * No harmful additives detected. * Pea protein is a common allergen, so be cautious if you have legume sensitivities. Pair it with a whole-grain bun, lots of veggies, and a side salad for a balanced meal. Consider leaner protein sources like grilled chicken or fish for more frequent meals.
