Who doesn’t like hamburgers!

Now, don’t tell me you don’t, cause today we’re going to discuss these only. Hamburgers are a treat to the tongue.

The layers of ground meat, toppings, and buns make a delicious combination together. However, this isn’t very famous among the vegans.

God! I miss Hamburger. Turns out me becoming vegan was not a good choice after all.

However, Hamburger buns are a different topic of discussion altogether. There are arguments about if the hamburger buns are vegan or not. 

Honestly, on my part, I don’t see the logic behind it. However, there is only one way to know for sure. So, let’s rush right into the article to know more about it.

Are Hamburger Bun ​​​​Vegan?

Hamburger is surely one of the most consumed snacks in America or even in the world. But there are always discussions and arguments about whether the buns in the burgers are vegan or not.

There are a lot of confusion around this as the people don’t really know for sure.

Burger Buns are consumed in many ways as people try and prefer multiple creative and sometimes weird dishes. But, are hamburger buns vegan? This debate about the buns being Vegan or not isn’t going to end soon. 

So, I’ve taken the matter in my own hands to look into the matter.

Interestingly, the buns are of both types. Typically, the buns are vegan, but not every one of them. The vegan buns do not contain animal or milk products or eggs. Other than that, they’re pretty much vegan and okay to eat.

About Yeast in Hamburger!

One more thing that confuses people is yeast. People think that the buns contain yeast, hence making them non-vegan food items. That is entirely not true.

The yeast is found everywhere. It is a fungus and it is present all around you. Yeast can be found in the air, the clothes, your skin, and other places as well.

Also, being related to a fungi family, it is not an animal product, meat or something non-vegan.

From tasty burgers to boring healthcare topic, let's see what does the buns have in store for us.

How many Calories are there in Hamburger Buns?

Let’s be honest. Doesn’t matter how many calories it has, nobody’s going to stop eating hamburgers.

Right? Wait… Are we? 

I don’t know about you but I am certainly not. By the way, hamburger buns are rich in fat, even more in carbohydrates that mean high calories.

The calorie count can vary depending on the type of bun. A classic basic hamburger bun or roll contains around 120 calories.

Although mix whole grains can contain up to 110-115 calories and reduced calorie buns can contain 80-85 calories.

Let’s break this down further for our health-conscious friends out here. Calories can be obtained from fat as well as carbohydrates.

A single gram of carbs contains four calories. Guess how many grams of carbs a classic hamburger bun can have? A whooping of 22-25 grams! That adds up to more than 85 or even 90 calories in your burger. And wait till you add the calories from fat into the equation.

However, mixed-grain and calorie reduced buns contain 19 and 17 grams of carbs respectively.

Now, let’s discuss the calories obtained from fat. A single gram of fat contains, expectedly 9 grams of calorie. Since a classic bun contains 2 grams of fat, that adds up to 18 calories.

The mixed-grain and calorie reduced contain 3 gram and 1 gram of fat respectively.

Hamburgers Buns- Yes or No?

Let’s be honest, hamburgers are a treat and a proper snack. It’s even better if we have both vegan and non-vegan buns available for us.

So, let’s eat 'em up, Right?

Wait, on a serious note, whether it's vegan or not, they add a lot of calories to the diet. So, make sure you calculate the calories you’re putting inside you cause my friend, health matters.

Listen up, folks. It's time we have a chat.

Burgers are a hundred percent breakfast food! Yes, you heard me right.

I know you're thinking it's a loony babble, but trust me it's not. What makes you flinch from having a burger in the morning is nothing but a social norm.

It's time that burgers break free from these shackles.

What is the Actual Deal with a Burger?

It's nothing but a fancy name for a sandwich!

You use round bun instead of a bagel or an English muffin or flat white bread to make a sandwich, and voila! What you get is a burger!

An ideal American breakfast consists of egg & cheese sandwiches and bacon and breakfast sausages or stacks of syrup-laced pancakes or a bowl of cereals with milk.

So now tell me, what's wrong if a burger takes its place?

It's got all the proteins and calories you need from the meat and cheese. And some fibers too from the bread, for a satisfactory poop!

Plus, you get some veggies like lettuce and onions and tomatoes from a burger.

So, if you think a cheese and sausage breakfast with greasy bacon is healthier than your regular burger, you are nothing but a hypocrite! (Going little harsh?)

Cereals have always been considered a very healthy breakfast option. Our parents would cram us up with cereals and send us off to school. But boy, were they wrong!

Research says that most of the breakfast cereals available today are grossly unhealthy. Even the brands which boast whole grains and little amount of sugar, fall in the calorie-dense, nutrient-poor end of the spectrum.

Some researchers even say that a cup of granola has the same amount of calories as that of a MacDonald Cheeseburger!

Recent findings have also suggested that it's not the dietary fats, but the extra calories we consume, that make us obese. Now, let's face it, who's the winner here!

Well, now I'm sure you feel bad for our good old buddy, Burger.

It has been labeled as bad and unhealthy for ages. But it turns out that conventionally "healthy" foods are no different!

Some doctors say that breakfast is "The King of All Meals". That is, we should consume the maximum amount of calories during breakfast and eat foods with limited calories during the course of the day.

Even this dictum validates having a burger for breakfast.

Ending Words

If you have to have a burger, why not have it in the morning, instead of for dinner and give your body a chance to process it completely! In this way, it won't even influence your body much.

Some progressive restaurants like, Burger King is already joining the tread. Now you don't have to wait till 10 AM to enjoy any of their delicious burgers.

But certainly, a huge double or triple-decker hamburger is not a healthy choice, any time of the day, but a homemade burger with lean meat, veggies and a reasonable amount of cheese-- why not!
