Veggie Grill is actually terrible for you

Product Non-Endorsement

Just a heads up for fellow vegetarians and vegans trying to lose/maintain their weight.

I had been trying out veggie grill for lunch for the past week. Unfortunately I just looked at the nutrition info (linked below), this place is incredibly unhealthy for you, maybe worse than McDonalds...

90% of dishes have a fat content so high that you'd exceed your daily maximum in just one meal! I'm so disappointed that a company claiming to be a healthy veggie alternative for us is peddling this kind of food.

I'm not sure they advertise as "healthy". Rather, they offer deep fried vegan comfort foods.

I for one am appalled to learn that the Mondo Nachos are not beacons of good health.

Seriously though there does appear to be plenty of healthy options on the menu if that's what you're looking for. Just don't order the fried stuff or things that are smothered in salad dressing.

If you're trying to lose weight, you really shouldn't make a habit of eating out.

Those of us who have been veggie for a long time or who are very aware of nutrition might think this is stupid to point out, but people just trying to go veg for the first time don't always check these kinds of things. They think no meat=healthy. It's a good thing to spread around.

That said, there's nothing wrong with enjoying some delicious veggie fast food from time to time. They have some good stuff. I prefer Native Foods though.
