So what’s up with the Impossible Burger anyway?

Essentially, the Impossible Burger is just a soy-based veggie burger made of Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Coconut Oil and Sunflower Oil (among other things).

As Men’s Health previously reported, the veggie patty is actually healthy. A single 4-ounce patty contains 240 calories, 19 grams of protein, 9 grams of carbohydrates (3 grams of which are fiber), and 14 grams of fat (0 grams of which are trans fat).

In comparison, a 4-ounce grass-fed burger patty, contains 224 calories, 22 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrates (and so 0 grams of fiber), and 14 grams of fat (0.8 grams of which are natural trans fats.

Although the Impossible Burger may not take the place of your favorite beef option, Men’s Health Nutrition Editor Paul Kita thinks “it’s pretty good.” If you’re open to giving up the standard beef burger (at least once), today might be a good day to try an Impossible Burger out yourself.
