Nutrition at a glance

- 890 calories, 48 g fat, 80 g carbs (5 g sugar)
- 36 g protein, or 4 g per 100 calories
- 2,650 mg sodium, about 115% of the 2,300 mg FDA daily value
Protein is moderate for the calories. Pairing it with a lighter side keeps the meal more balanced.
Sodium is high: one serving covers more than a full day’s recommended limit. Skipping the sauce or swapping the side are the easiest ways to bring it down.
