8oz of protein = 30 gms of protein (may be 40 gms??)
So for me to reach the 30gms of protein i have to eat atleast 2 spicy black bean burgers.

The body only needs 1/2g of protein per pound of body weight. IP'ers should get a bit more but you are still looking at a relatively low amount compared to the average North American diet.
Try & look around for the lowest carb 'veggie burger' you can find. It should also be fairly low in fats...
BTW...congrats on only having 2 pounds to go to goal!!!!! Ease back on your food stress, you will do fine. Remember when you are so close it takes a long time to lose the very last bit!
