One patty is 290 calories, 20 grams of fat, three grams of saturated fat, and has zero cholesterol and 450 milligrams of sodium. It provides 11 grams of carbs and five grams of fibre and has zero grams of added sugar and 18 grams of protein. One burger also offers 190 milligrams of potassium and 20 percent of your daily iron.
As a fan of the Beyond Burger, I wanted to see how these Trader Joe's Protein Patties compared. For a 250-calorie patty, it offers 20 grams of protein and two grams of fibre. It has just three grams of carbs, six grams of saturated fat, and 390 grams of sodium. These patties also provide 300 milligrams of potassium and 25 percent of your daily iron. A bonus with this plant-based burger is that it has zero cholesterol.
So the Trader Joe's Protein Patties are higher in calories, fat, and carbs, and offer slightly less protein but have over twice the amount of fibre.
If you're a beef eater, for nutritional comparison, a four-ounce grass-fed beef patty is 224 calories and offers 22 grams of protein and zero fibre. It has zero grams of carbs, six grams of saturated fat, and 77 milligrams of sodium. A grass-fed beef patty provides 327 grams of potassium and 12.8 percent of your daily iron. It also has 70 milligrams of cholesterol.
