Eating a lot of saturated fat will do it. Fats, both from meat and coconut oil, which is used in these burgers, are energy-dense. Losing weight involves watching total energy intake as well as available carbohydrates (generally as grams per total gram).
People have started coming up with similar recipes for these "fake meats" and the ingredients are not expensive at all and have fewer processed foods: for example,

I think the way taking vegetable matter and converting it into meat via food science is hokey. I mean, sure, it seems to work, but calling it "grilled sandwich plant protein" albeit unsexy, is probably OK. We used to joke about "mystery meat" in K-12 and wondered what was actually in McDonald's patties. Now, the "mystery" is a selling point.
