The catch

620mg sodium is 27% of the daily value, and the 30g of carbs are mostly refined starch from the stuffing and mashed potato rather than fiber (only 2g). (source)

The honest take

A full comfort food plate of white meat chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy at 250 calories with 14g protein and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. The label reads 14g protein, 250 calories, 30g carbs, 8g fat, 2g fiber, 3g sugar, 620mg sodium per 1 package (244g / 8.625 oz).

Here is the tradeoff. 620mg sodium is 27% of the daily value, and the 30g of carbs are mostly refined starch from the stuffing and mashed potato rather than fiber (only 2g). Skip it if you are watching sodium or refined carbs.
