Burger King, McDonald’s, White Castle and Del Taco all have meatless alternatives.
The alternative meat market is booming, with plant-based fake meats that look, taste and bleed just like the real thing taking over grocery stores and fast food restaurants. Part of the appeal for diners is that eating less red meat can cut the risk of heart disease and other health risks. But nutritionists and registered dietitians say ordering a meatless burger at a chain — especially one where you can get fries with it — might not be that much better for you.
At Burger King, the meatless Impossible Whopper, available at select locations, is 630 calories, compared to the regular Whopper which is 660. . ‘Our goal is to make food that is at least as nutritious as the animal-derived versions.’ — Rachel Konrad, spokeswoman for Impossible Foods Impossible Foods doesn’t seem to be trying to make a product that’s necessarily healthier. In fact, a spokeswoman said the company’s focus is on matching the nutritional value of meat. “Our goal is to make food that is at least as nutritious as the animal-derived versions,” Rachel Konrad, a spokeswoman for Impossible Foods, told MarketWatch in an email.
The Beyond Taco at Del Taco also has a very similar nutritional value compared to a regular taco. Both are 300 calories and contain nearly the same amount of fat and saturated fat. The Beyond Taco, however, contains 100 more milligrams of salt, and costs $1 more. Del Taco did not respond to a request for comment.
Chick-fil-A has been studying vegan meat substitutes, according to Business Insider, and a spokeswoman for the Georgia-based chicken sandwich chain hinted to MarketWatch that the company could be coming out with a meatless variety in the future, but would not give any further details. “The culinary team at Chick-fil-A is always exploring new trends and possible menu offerings for our customers, and we are still in the early phases of the development process.
