The boca burgers look pretty comparable to ground meat to me.
A burger made from 95% lean ground beef (8 ounce weight before cooking)
297 calories
12g fat
0g carbs
45g protein
Four Boca burgers (given the stats quoted) would contain
280 calories
2g fat
8g net (useable) carbs
52g protein
Three burgers would bring the calorie count down to 210 calories, the protein down to 39g and the carbs down to 6g. Not quite the minimum, but pretty close (only 1g off).
The main issue I would think would be the carbs more than the protein (and whether or not you want to eat 3-4 burgers). However, if you're not using any of your sweetener or dairy carb grams, wouldn't that come out about the same?
