Stouffer’s Lean Cuisine® baked
lemon pepper fish
Fish filet is
breaded, which keeps it from exploding in the microwave, but the breading adds
useless calories. The actual amount of bad fat is 2g.
side panel:
This responsible
manufacturer alerts consumers to possible allergens milk, egg, fish, wheat.
Enriched flour has essential nutrients removed during processing. These are
added back as powdered vitamins. Lots of starches and salt. Note that skim milk
is listed ahead of broccoli. This means that the milk weighs more than the
broccoli, so the amount of green vegetable is minimal in this dinner.
Back panel:
Only two grams
of bad fat, but 21g of net carbs. The high carb count is because of the
breading. High protein (20g) is because of the fish.
High sodium
(690mg).
There should be
more dietary fiber from the broccoli, so one is led to assume that there is
more cheese sauce than vegetable portion in the package.
