Commercial fake meats:
- Tofurky (Roasts, Sausages, Deli Slices)
- Lightlife

- Simple Truth (not exclusively vegetarian/vegan brand)
Similar products (nutrition):

Best Answer
Pardon my rampant vegerianism, but the trick is not to substitue meat at all.
I generally get my nutrition from other sources, without using meat substitutes at all. Unless I really feel like a certain recipe that I used to like back in my meat-eating days.
Use beans, lentils and whole grains for protein. Use nuts, seeds and avocadoes (or any other fatty fruits and vegetables) for B-vitamins. Use beans (again) and leafy greens for iron and calcium.
So, it turns out my answer is a bit Zen. Sorry.
