Notes
Total fat may be slightly higher than the sum of individual fat totals due to rounding or lack of available information (some food items in the software do not have an indicated breakdown of mono- and polyunsaturated fats).
Sodium content will be much higher if canned tomatoes with added salt are used.
Menu Suggestions
Serve with chips, but remember to account for carbohydrates in chip servings.
