Have you tried this Veggie Burger?

This is a new favorite of mine... Morning Star Tomato Basil Pizza Burger. I had it with sliced tomato and some warmed spinach, Low fat mozzarella cheese and a tiny bit of Ken's Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing(microwave for 1 minute). Put the burger and veggies on a piece of Joseph's low carb flat bread....delicious!

Thanks to Heather for the balsamic vinaigrette dressing suggestion!!!

I didn't see an email contact, so I'm leaving the recipe for granola in your comments, per the conversation we had at the gym.

4c. old fashioned oats
~1/2 c. chopped toasted almonds
~1/4 - 1/3c. honey
dried fruits as desired, raisins, blueberries, currants, cranberries
add ground flaxseed, as desired.

Toast oats in 300 degree oven until they barely begin to turn golden, stirring often. A jelly roll pan works well for this.

Mix warm oats with the other ingredients, stir well. Adding the fruit at this step lets it soften and get chewier.

When completely cool, stir as the granola may have clumped a bit and then store in an airtight container.

Making your own granola eliminates the fat added to most commercial brands.
