Morning Star Veggie Burgers - PIZZA BURGERS!

Since my VSG I have been pretty much trying to stick to my guns about eating animal proteins. My daughter came home the other day raving about these burgers a friend of hers made for her. I brushed it off until we were at the grocery store the other day and she asked me to get some for her. I just had a bit, they are amazing and here are the stats:

1 Burger Has:

120 Calories

7g Carbs (3 are fiber) (2 g sugar)

10 g protein

If you cook one up, add a smidgeon of low sugar pizza sauce and some 2% mozzerella (or full fat if you are amping up your fat burn) on 1/2 a italian light flat out wrap. Pizza Craving Satisfied. For that matter you could put mushroom, onion, etc. and have a pizza.

I also picked up a box of their Grillers Prime Burgers:

170 calories

4g Carbs (2 fiber, 0 sugar)

17g of protein

Can't wait to try these.

The Grillers Chik'n burgers have:

80 calories

3g fat

7g carbs (5 fiber, 0 sugar)

9g protein

I will be looking a their other products as well. 

I keep hearing about these Morning Star pizza burgers but I cannot find them in my area!!!! 

I don't like the Boca items.  I tried the tomato basil burger. 

I like the Boca burgers ok, wouldn't go out of my way to get one, but the morning star ones are really tasty. I just read through all of their products, here is a list of the ones that are low carb and wls friendly:

Asian Veggie Patties
Grillers 1/4 pounder 
Grillers Turk'y Burger
Grillers Chik'n Ve
Grillers Original
Grillers Prime
Hot & spicy sausage patties
Chik'n strips
Maple Sausage
Veggie Meatballs
Mediterranean Chickpea
Mushroom lover
Spicy black bean burger
Tomato Basil Pizza Burger
Bacon Strips
Veggie Dogs
Original sausage

I've tried the veggie dogs before! 

Me, too.  Never again!  A complete waste of money and available calories because I wouldn't drown their taste in catsup.

I do like the MorningStar Original Grillers though and have them on most of my meatless days.  I like to melt a Laughing Cow RF French Onion wedge on top of the burger.  Yummy, and helps it not to be too dry and therefore hard to eat.

Ooo that sounds like a fabulous idea! Thanks! 

WORD OF CAUTION:  don't overnuke the veggie burgers.  Microwave them too long, and you've got a hockey puck.

How is the texture? because since surgery I no longer can eat hamburger patties or turkey burger patties. My stomach doesn't tolerate them AT ALL! I hurt every single time! So basically I have given up cheeseburgers for life. It's kind of a soft consistency right? I remember eating Boca burgers while I was younger and dieting and they weren't too bad..I do not like them anymore. But  maybe I will have to pick up some Morning Star stuff.

Firm but not hard. I wouldn't say soft. Boca Burgers are soft. These are much more like a burger without the meat crumbling.

As for your burger problem, are you chewing them well enough? I know when I don't chew meat well enough it hurts.

I'm 13 months out and I have tried burgers over and over in this journey. I will chew it to nothing! Still hurts :[ It sucks. lol Oh well though. I will give the Morningstar Burgers a shot and see what happens :]
