How does macaroni and cheese fit your goals?

Macaroni and cheese delivers a balanced macro profile (11.8g protein / 38g carbs / 19g fat per 1 cup (200g)), which makes it easy to fit into almost any tracking plan. Foods like this are particularly useful as base ingredients in meal prep, because they don't lock you into a specific macro split — you can pair them with whatever your daily target needs more of.

Micronutrients worth noting

Macaroni and cheese doesn't stand out on micronutrients at this serving size. Worth flagging on the other side of the ledger: a serving carries 15% of the daily sodium limit, which matters if you eat it often.
