question about soy patties?

Sunflower64 · April 2011

Hello girls,

I turned vegetarian in 2009 when I was dx with bc. I have been eating the frozen soy patties, boca burgers, veggie burgers, etc. I am worried about all the sodium content in these. It is high. So was wondering what you thought because this stuff only comes frozen in my area not fresh. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Diane

Hi Diane,

I'm not sure but I thought Er+ dx should use little to no soy? I'll wait for others to chime in.

Soy in moderation is fine. if you have an issue with sodium it will be difficult to find any prepared foods without it unless they are specifically marked "low sodium."

I agree that soy is fine in moderation, but some of the patties are way too processed and some are made with GMO soy, so that's enough to turn me off of them. And of course the excess sodium isn't the greatest either. There are some great veggie burger recipes out there, would you be into trying those?
