Of all the burgers out there, I think the general consensus is that veggie burgers are the healthiest of the bunch. They're low in saturated fat, and fat in general, plus they're lower in calories than regular beef or chicken burgers. As a non-vegetarian, I always get the same reaction when I order a veggie burger at a restaurant: 'Huh? Are you on a diet or something?' But I suspect that what veggie burgers lack in calories and fat they make up for in add-ons like cheese and sauce. But then again, I could be wrong.
What do you think? Are veggie burgers healthy or not?

The answer is
780 calories, according to
a documentary I recently saw on calorie counts in restaurant foods. And that doesn't include the fries, side salad, appetizer or dessert. That's a little steep for a so-called 'health' food. Save yourself some money and time by ordering the
veggie burger at Burger King -- with cheese, it only has 470 calories, which is still high but not
as high.
The reason for the high amount of calories? Like I said, it's the add-ons -- particularly the cheese and the sauce. Order yours without any add-ons but veggies and your saving yourself a whole bunch of calories.
