I buy this packaged parmesan risotto. Tasty and low in fat. 1/4 of box is a portion and contains 2% of fat for the day. Pretty good. I can even eat 1/2 the box and not cheat on my diet. I try to stay at 5% or lower per porton. Was really hungry the other night and ate whole box. So that put me to 8%, plus 8% from portion of salmon fillet. That's a whole meal and am only at 16% of total fat allowed for day. My fattiest meal of whole day. Tops I might hit 30% of suggested fat content for day in 3 meals plus snacks.
Now the kicker. 1/4 of box is 20% of salt for day. That is a large spoonful. I would bloody starve eating that little. Eating the whole box was 80% of salt intake for day. I can scratch make risotto with zero salt.
I started reading labels for low fat and am starting to clue in that process foods are just plain bad for you. Convenient as hell but death in a box.
Cars and processed food will be the death of us all. Unless the cigarettes get me/you/us first.
