Three of the meals are lower in calories, the Seeds of Change bowl has 9g more fiber, three meals are lower in sodium, and three are lower in sugars. It's the richest of our four entrées, so if calories are your top priority, Savory Chili or Sloppy Joe may be the better fit.
Why these numbers matter when appetite is low
Protein in a smaller portion
When you're eating less, it's easy to come up short on protein. Creamy Alfredo puts 35g of protein, including collagen peptides, into one 370-calorie bowl, so a small dinner still pulls its weight. Find your daily target with our protein calculator.
Fiber you don't have to think about
Most adults fall short on daily fiber. Each bowl has 5g of fiber plus a Bacillus subtilis probiotic, already built in, so there's nothing extra to add at dinner. Check your number with the fiber calculator.
A real hot meal, ready in minutes
Shakes and bars carry a lot of the day, but sometimes you want a warm, savory bowl. Creamy Alfredo is shelf-stable and microwave-ready in 6 to 8 minutes, an easy dinner on the nights cooking isn't going to happen.
Where Creamy Alfredo fits
One easy way to build a day: a 30g protein shake at breakfast, a protein snack mid-day, and a 35g protein entrée like Creamy Alfredo at dinner. That's about 80g of protein before anything else on the plate. See how it fits together in our free meal plans.
