Hungry Girl: Vegging Out

By: Lisa "Hungry Girl" Lillien

My favorite vegetarian food finds!

Dr. Praeger's Veggie Royale California Veggie Burgers

100 calories, 3.3 grams fat, 9.5 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 8 grams protein

 

Dr. Praeger makes the most delicious and unique veggie patties on this planet (possibly in the entire galaxy, but I haven't expanded my search that far yet). You can actually identify pieces of edamame, carrot, broccoli, corn and more in every bite. It's a cornucopia of veggie delights! Plus, the nutritionals are right on: low-calorie, no saturated fats, lots of fiber, no sugars, not a lot of carbs. What more could you want? The only negative about these delights is the fact that they're a little harder to find than most other veggie burgers. But you can buy them online at DrPraegers.com.

Gardenburger Meatless Riblets

160 calories, 5 grams fat, 11 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 17 grams protein

I'm a true carnivore. And I like nothing more than to stick my head in a giant plate of saucy ribs. But a total loss of control like that can set you back about 1,000 calories. If you love ribs, give these soy-based, BBQ-sauced swaps a try. Gardenburger has done an awesome job with this rib substitute. Even their name is cute: "Riblets." (Tee hee.) But forget what they're called ‑- they taste fantastic! Eat them alone, or nestle one in a Wonder light bun and top it with rinsed coleslaw (a little trick to get rid of the fatty mayo). Tony Roma, eat your heart out!
