The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and I'm sure you're gearing up for some BBQs. If you're watching your saturated fat and cholesterol intake, veggie burgers are a great option. And according to my burger poll many of you prefer veggie burgers, too. There are so many different brands and flavors out there now, the selection can be a little overwhelming. Some burgers are made with soy and others with grains. Other veggie burgers are just that and made from veggies. Sunshine even makes their burgers with sunflower seeds. Depending on the main ingredients, all your options will differ in calories, sodium, carbs, and protein, so check out this breakdown to see which one satisfies your needs.

when i first became a vegetarian, i was a bit scared of veggie burgers cause you really don't know what you're going to get, but to be honest, i've been pleasantly surprised. i've always enjoyed the ones that i've bought at the store. I've always tried Gardenburger or Boca Burger.
i've ordered veggie burgers at restaurants a few times, and it's hit or miss. sometimes they do really bad jobs - and you end up with something that's mush in the middle because they haven't cooked it through.
