Taste the best burgers.

Sink your teeth into the most satisfying patties out there.

Veggies? For a burger BBQ? "Veggie burgers are lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than the typical beef burger," says Stephanie Middleberg, RD. And if you go with ours, they can taste almost as meaty as your favorite sliders. Look for patties that contain fewer than 200 calories, 6 grams of fat and no more than 20% of your daily value of saturated fat per serving. Grill, Girl!

Best Meat Stand-In: Morningstar Farms Grillers Original
Craving something beefy? These patties are moist and flavorful without being greasy. Find them at a store near you. (130 calories, 6 g fat (1 g sat) 2 g fiber, 15 g protein)

Best Flavored Burger: Amy's Cheddar Veggie Burger
Savor their slightly nutty flavor--you can actually see the whole grains you're eating. "I love that you can pronounce all the items on the ingredient list," says Middleberg. Find them at a store near you. (150 calories, 5 g fat (1.5 g sat), 3 g fiber, 8 g protein)

Best Bean Burger: Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean
Turn up the heat with these Southwestern-style burgers made with black beans, peppers, roasted corn, brown rice and soy and veggie protein. Find them at a store near you. (120 calories, 4 g fat (0.5 g sat), 4 g fiber, 11 g protein)

Best Mushroom Burger: Gardenburger Portabella

They're the best thing between sliced bread.
