Lentil Burger
Legumes & Tofu · Legumes
The lentil burger in the Monash app is high FODMAP at its listed 125 g patty serving. A much smaller 10 g piece is low and 13 g is moderate. The green result therefore describes a small piece of the tested burger, not a whole burger meal.

Breakdown for 1 patty
Is lentil burger low FODMAP?
Fructans are amber at 13 g. At the 125 g patty serving, both fructans and GOS are red. A burger is a mixed food, so this result should not be substituted for a serving of plain lentils. It also cannot rate every homemade recipe or packaged lentil patty with different binders, vegetables and seasonings.
Lentil Burger and IBS: what to know
A 10 g green amount may be too small to serve the role you wanted from a burger. It can be more practical to choose a separately assessed alternative than to build a meal around a tiny piece of this patty. Consider the bun, toppings and sauces alongside the burger when reviewing a meal that caused discomfort.
Gut-friendly ways to eat lentil burger
Read the patty's ingredient list and use any testing specific to that product when available. For a homemade version, assess the quantities of each ingredient and how many patties the recipe makes. If changing the meal to a mince-based filling, compare the separate plain mycoprotein guide rather than assuming all vegetarian replacements have a shared portion.
Frequently asked questions
Is a whole lentil burger low FODMAP?
The app's 125 g patty is high. Its 10 g green portion should not be read as a green rating for the entire burger.
Does using canned lentils make a homemade burger low FODMAP?
That substitution alone does not establish the finished recipe's rating. The lentil amount per patty and the other ingredients still need to be assessed.
Does the burger weight include a bun and toppings?
The listed 125 g measure is described as one burger patty. A bun, sauce, cheese or vegetables added to serve it are extra components.
