It's time for another nutritional battle here at the blog and this time around it's chik'n burgers clamoring for the top spot. Chik'n burgers are a favourite of mine, I absolutely love how crunchy and delicious they are. I've tried a variety of brands and quite honestly, I've found that a lot of them are pretty similar in almost every way. Texturally, flavour wise, and appearance wise, there's not a huge discrepancy between different burgers which essentially means you'll enjoy whichever brand you bring home! When it comes to nutrition however, there's some differences between these leading vegan chik'n burgers. Let's get this battle started to find out which chik'n burger is the most nutritious choice!
ROUND 1 CALORIES BOCA - 130 GARDEIN - 160 MORNINGSTAR - 170 YVES - 230 WINNER - BOCA Although all 4 patties are very similar in their appearance, their nutritional stats tell a varied story. There is an 100 calorie difference between the first place competitor and last place which if you start eating more than one burger, could quickly add up. The BOCA brand comes in with the fewest calories per patty which means you're safe to load up on the toppings and even go in for a second! ROUND 2 FAT BOCA - 4g / 6% DV GARDEIN - 7g / 11% DV MORNINGSTAR - 7g / 9% DV YVES - 13g / 20% DV WINNER - BOCA BOCA once again comes in at first place with the least amount of fat per patty. Saving the fat means you can get away with some extra creamy toppings like mayo and avocado without worrying that you're overdoing it on the fat intake. Unfortunately for the YVES brand, they've come in last place once again with 3 times the fat per patty of the first place winner. ROUND 3 SODIUM BOCA - 640mg / 27% DV GARDEIN - 310g / 13% DV MORNINGSTAR - 320mg / 14% DV YVES - 430mg / 18% DV WINNER - GARDEIN Too much sodium can lead to a slew of health issues which is why it's important to stay within the safe boundaries of sodium intake. GARDEIN takes the crown with 310mg of sodium per patty, half the amount of the fourth place competitor. ROUND 4 FIBER BOCA - 3g / 12% DV GARDEIN - 3g /12% DV MORNINGSTAR - 3g / 9% DV YVES - 2g / 8% DV WINNER - 3 WAY TIE! BOCA, GARDEIN, MORNINGSTAR We have a 3 way tie folks! All 3 brands have 3g of fiber per patty which is 12% of your daily fiber requirements. Makes choosing a patty an easy task when they are all providing similar health benefits! ROUND 5 PROTEIN BOCA - 11g / 22% DV GARDEIN - 13g / NO % GIVEN MORNINGSTAR - 9g / 13% DV YVES - 14g / NO % GIVEN WINNER - YVES Yves takes its first win of the challenge after coming in fourth for nearly every other challenge. Protein is crucial in our diets and the YVES variety provides 14g of protein per delicious chik'n patty! ROUND 6 VITAMINS & MINERALS WINNER - YVES Going solely off the information provided on the nutritional labels, the YVES brand of patties provides the most vitamins and minerals per patty. With over 20% of your daily requirement of 5 important vitamins and minerals, the YVES brand chik'n is the biggest bang for the buck! WINNER .......... ......... ........ ....... ...... ..... .... ... .. . BOCA!!! The BOCA brand chik'n patties take the crown this competition with wins in 3 of the 6 categories! Coming in with the least amount of fat & calories and providing the most fiber per patty, the BOCA chik'n patties are the most nutritious chik'n patty available on the market!
