The downer: Fat and calorie-wise, the Beyond Burger is about on-par with a beef burger, says Dallas-based nutritionist Amy Goodson, RD. Per four-ounce uncooked Beyond Burger patty, you’ll get:Īs for other highlights, the Beyond Burger packs in 30 percent of your daily iron quota and an impressive amount of phosphorus (which is found in your bones and teeth), along with some vitamin C.Ĭompare that to four ounces of raw beef (80 percent lean): Is the Beyond Burger actually healthier than a beef burger? Still, the company recommends cooking your Beyond Burgers-and refrigerating 'em until you’re ready to cook, since they ~are~ perishable. ![]() "But I'm honestly not sure why anyone would want to." "As far as I can tell from looking at the list of ingredients, it appears that these would be safe to eat raw," says nutritionist Keri Gans, RD. Technically, Beyond Burgers don't contain anything that could be harmful if consumed straight out of the package. But the company site does offer up some info online about how the Beyond Burger is made: “We use a simple process of heating, cooling, and pressure to create the fibrous texture of meat and layer in plant-based fats, binders, flavors, and colors.” A little cryptic. It's also worth noting, though, that these patties are one of the only plant-based burgers made without genetically modified organisms, soy, or gluten.īeyond Brands won't reveal exactly how they create their products (fair). Note that there are no actual vegetables present, unlike other veggie burgers on the market. (The cocoa butter and coconut oil, specifically, add marbling and a satisfying pan sizzle.)Ĭurious about that beet juice extract? It's there to mimic the bloodiness of beef. (Complete proteins include eggs, cheese, and fish.) But this clever combo pairs two incomplete proteins (rice and beans) together to create a complete one.Ĭocoa butter, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil provide the fats. This is significant, because few plant proteins are complete on their own. The protein in this new formulation comes from peas, mung beans, and brown rice-which create a complete protein, or a protein that has all nine essential amino acids. Here’s the full Beyond Burger ingredients list: water, pea protein, expeller-pressed canola oil, refined coconut oil, rice protein, natural flavors, cocoa butter, mung bean protein, methylcellulose, potato starch, apple extract, pomegranate extract, salt, potassium chloride, vinegar, lemon juice concentrate, sunflower lecithin, beet juice extract. Their goal: to create "marbling designed to melt and tenderize like traditional ground beef." The brand recently updated their formula, for what they claim to be an even "meatier" flavor and texture than the original product, according to a press release. ![]() Want the full rundown before taking a bite? I've got you covered. “They’re highly-processed foods and typically are high in sodium, which could be a problem for people with high blood pressure,” she adds. “These ‘meat’ products have potential to be healthier than regular animal meat because they can be engineered to contain more protein, essential amino acids, and vitamins while reducing the amount of saturated fat and minimizing the chance of animal-borne illnesses, such as salmonella and E.coli,” Rissetto says.īut faux-meat products like Beyond Burger aren’t perfect.

The kernel does not typically read the value again however, some supported architectures, such as x86, periodically save the current wall time back to the RTC. On boot, the kernel reads the RTC and uses it to initialize the wall time, which is stored in the xtime variable. On the PC architecture, the RTC and the CMOS are integrated and a single battery keeps the RTC running and the BIOS settings preserved. The RTC continues to keep track of time even when the system is off by way of a small battery typically included on the system board. The real-time clock (RTC) provides a nonvolatile device for storing the system time. The actual behavior and implementation of these devices varies between different machines, but the general purpose and design is about the same for each. Or r4,r4,r3 # Combine bits 0.15 and 16.Architectures provide two hardware devices to help with time keeping: the system timer, which we have been discussing, and the real-time clock.

Instead, the Counter Snapshot is used to copy the current time remaining, which can then be safely read by the user. Reading the time remaining in the timer can not be done by reading the Periodh/l registers. The continue bit determines whether the timer will then wait until 1 is written to the start bit again, or continue running immediately. When a timeout occurs, the timer's counter is reset to the period, regardless of the "continue" bit. When a timeout occurs, the Timeout bit in the Control Register will stay as 1 until the user writes 0 to the status register. Both those registers are only 16-bits, even though they take up 32-bits of the address space. The full 32-bit period of the timer is given by the combination of "Periodh" and "Periodl". The timer counts downwards on a 100MHz clock, and runs in terms of clock cycles (a period of 100000000 will cause the timer to timeout in 1 second). Write 0 to status register to clear timeout bit (see address map above) Timer1 use IRQ line 0 Timer2 use IRQ Line 2 None (though a period must be written before running the timer, or it will immediately timeout) ![]() Periodh - upper 16 bits of Timeout period Periodl - lower 16 bits of Timeout period Otherwise it will just reload the timeout period, but not start) Tiner 1: 0xFF202000 and Timer2: 0xxFF202020Ġ - Timeout (1 if timer has timed out - write 0 to this address to clear)ġ - cont (if this bit is 1, timer will restart and continue when it times out, DeviceĦ 32-bit mapped registers (only lower 16 bits used) A user loads the timer with the number of clock cycles they'd like to wait, and then polls the "Timeout" bit or optionally enables an interrupt to indicate to the processor that the period has elapsed. The timer is a peripheral that allows the user to measure real-time as a number of clock cycles. ![]() We sincerely apologize to all ESPN fantasy users.”īased on our experiences while evaluating similar situations, it seems likely that the ESPN outage was the result of a scaling issue.

In the words of my Moogsoft colleague Kevin, “I play fantasy football to have a real stake in the game.” Whether your fantasy football investment is emotional, monetary, or both, it puts you in the shoes of an NFL general manager, and that responsibility tends to be taken very seriously by fans who run fantasy teams.
