Whole Food plants > plant based meat > animal products.

The plant based meats vary a lot. IMO just look for the ones that are low in sat fat and trans fat. Check for added sugar. And watch out for the ones that have really high sodium levels. Also best to avoid the ones with palm or coconut oil.

For example, the brands I know of that tend not to be so bad. Tofurky, lifelight,Daring original. In the UK This. Also the new beyond meat that uses avocado fat instead of coconut is really impressive actually. Only 1-2 grams of sat fat for a Burger.
