Even if you’re not a vegetarian, let us suggest that you take an occasional foray into veggie-burger land. Even red-blooded carnivores can benefit from a patty that pulls nearly half of its calories from protein, packs in more fiber than an ear of corn, and boasts a stellar blend of ingredients like bulgur wheat, brown rice, onions, and mushrooms. Put it on a whole wheat bun and fix it with the same produce you’d stick on a hamburger.
