This has been an area of some controversy in the past, but if you look at the Phase 3 explanation tables, they list these items as protein. I ate them only occasionally during Phases 1 and 2, more often using low-carb count tofu than veg burgers... usually as a protein for stir fry.
During Phase 3, I brought back the Morning Star bacon (love), and now in Phase 4, added back veg burgers (various brands) to the dinner rotation.
If you use during weight loss phases, just watch the carbs.
