Liver Shrink Perspective:

A bit high carb and sodium for barely above minimum protein. Meh.

Would I eat it again:

Eh, not with those numbers. It wasn't really bbq enough. Not bad, but I was expecting something else I think.

Protein	Starch	Vegetable	Sauce
Great	Great	Great	Great
Good	Good	Good	Good
Shrug	Shrug	Shrug	Shrug
Eww	Eww	Eww	Eww
Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope

Protein: White meat Chicken

Decent texture on the Chicken, its tender and juicy, but you totally can taste the artificial flavorings and or brine. Not a bad flavor, just noticibly fake.

Starch: Mashed Potatoes

The mashed potatoes are THICK. Sour Cream and chives flavored, but way too thick for the lack of other textures. If it had skins, it would have been ok being this thick, but it just feels like someone made too thick instant potatoes.

Vegetable: None.

All those carbs and fats, ain't no room for vegetables.

Sauce: BBQ Sauce

The BBQ Sauces tastes like they had spare BBQ and some red enchilada sauce and mixed them together. Not quite BBQ enough in general. And its really only for the chicken, couldn't bring myself to BBQ my mashed potatoes.

One Offs:

That said, it wasn't bad. Just not what I was expecting, or wanted.

Liver Shrink Perspective:

I kind of arbitrarily set the concept for good for this diet as having at least 20g protein, low fat, and low carbs. So yea, I'd call this good.

Would I eat it again:

Yea. Infact as I'm writing some of these a bit in the future, I did, and have eaten it again.

Liver Shrink Perspective:

Good enough I would say. Low-ish protein.

Would I eat it again:

Not really, when it came time to buy the next batch I skipped this one. Flavor is something I'm looking for in a meal, if I wanted plain, I would have gone the plain chicken route.

Protein	Starch	Vegetable	Sauce
Great	Great	Great	Great
Good	Good	Good	Good
Shrug	Shrug	Shrug	Shrug
Eww	Eww	Eww	Eww
Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope

Protein: Chicken Breast

Chicken is an ok texture, but it had some big pieces. Better sizing than many others. Unfortunately the extra size I think lead to it being a little grainy in the center and maybe a little dry.

Starch: Russet Potatoes

The potatoes have a good potato flavor, its sad I have to say that since a lot of the frozen foods just don't have flavors other than their sauces. Ratio of potatos seems a bit high, but good enough texture.

Vegetable: Whole Green Beans, Mushrooms and Onions

Green Beans have a good texture, but the flavor is a little weak. The mushrooms were small and shruggish.

Sauce: Marsala Wine Sauce

The sauce is a bit thin, it has a flavor, but it is underwealming not bad, but not like any marsala I've had before. Maybe because of how mild it was, I was actually able to taste the vegetables this time.

One Offs:

Granted, when you go to a restaurant that makes a good Marsala,
they're making it with wine and a metric ton of butter.

6g	Total Fat	10g max
600mg	Sodium	700mg max
19g	Carbohydrate	30g max

Liver Shrink Perspective:

Good enough I would say. Not too many of these meals get much above 20g protein or under 20g carbs.

Would I eat it again:

Yes. And I look forward to eating it again. It is spicy tho, a bit too strong for what I wanted at the time.

Protein	Starch	Vegetable	Sauce
Great	Great	Great	Great
Good	Good	Good	Good
Shrug	Shrug	Shrug	Shrug
Eww	Eww	Eww	Eww
Nope	Nope	Nope	Nope

Protein: Pulled All Natural* Chicken Breast

Good chicken texture. Its mostly small crumbles, a flaw most of these freeze meals have. But there were a couple of larger pieces. When I found a larger piece that I missed stirring in with the sauce, It had a good chicken flavor. Only about 3 or 4 of these pieces per bowl.

Starch:Riced Cauliflower

I know, Riced Cauliflower shouldn't count as a Starch. Deal with it, its pretending to be rice for this ricebowl. Very little flavor (which we want for cauliflower frankly) and a good ... not quite crunchy, but firm texture.

Vegetable: Black Beans and Vegetables

Good bell pepper texture, good crunch or snap, whatever you want to call it to the greens in there too. Good bean texture with a mild flavor, but a flavor. Hard to get much flavors past the chili sauce.

Sauce:Spicy Chili Sauce topped with Cotija Cheese

The mild flavors of everything else is drown out by the strong and spicy chili sauce. If you like spice, then this is probably a welcome change, to otherwise mild and boring frozen food flavors. This spicy hits a point and just doesn't get worse. Doesn't last too long either.

One Offs:

Would make a brilliant burrito if I was allowed a wrap
I'd probably say this could have come from some sort of restaurant

No. This was on the list of options I was given, but the carbohydrates violate the rules. 6g too many carbs.

Would I eat it again:

I actually did, I didn't notice the level of carbs until writing this review after the second time. Again because I was hungry and forgot to review it at the time.

Protein: Grilled Chicken Breast

Not a great flavor, not chicken-y at all. Almost taste chicken-nugget-y instead. Not the best texture either when compared to some of its competitors.

Starch:Penne Pasta

PASTA! Maybe just past Al dente, but also chewy for longer than you'd expect. So there's something off about that. Pasta ... is a flavor, but hard to identify under the marinara.

Vegetable: Broccoli

The broccoli is just barely above 'near mush' and it is very small florets.

Sauce:Zesty Marinara Sauce

It's a very sweet pasta sauce, not zesty to me. And there's some sort of cheesing agent that sticks to my fork. Sort of invisible cheesing agent. Maybe it is all of these specs in the sauce the same size as the broccoli ... leaves? Dots? Wait, broccoli are flowers? Mind blown.

One Offs:

If you're desperate for pasta ...
Technically shouldn't have had this if I paid attention to all of the Nutrition Facts when I bought them.
