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.
