Storebought meatballs?

Any favorites? Any that your dietitian or nutritionist would approve?? I'm not to that point yet, so I have no one to ask yet.

  • Just be aware that there may be a few carbs, but really if you can only eat one or two meatballs, it won't be that many carbs.

At target i think the brand is "simple balanced"... they have Italian style chicken meatballs..7g of fat and 14g of protein for 4 of them...I can only eat 2.5 to 3 .. just heat mines up with mids (low fat) spaghetti sauce and a pinch of no fat shredded mozz. This definitely helps me in my protein count. Hope that helps

I know @@Miss Mac the carb thing bothers me. I just went through a bag of the Ikea meatballs. They are really good, but of course there are carbs in there. :( I'm going to check out the Target chicken ones. If they have carbs too, I'm going to get to cooking some all meat meatballs and freeze them up. Hubs is retired. That;ll give him something to do!! Thanks folks!

With what I scanned on myfitnesspal...it's 3.8 carbs for 3....

Hope I'm doing this right but here's the screen shot for 3 meatballs

is the screen shot with the nutritional value too much? Just curious about your thoughts with the content. Or is there a better substitute?

Ahh..ok. I'm trying to get as much info on this soft diet...trying to see if some foods are better than others....just trying to stick to the script and get the most progress from my sleeve. Thanks

My family really enjoys giant eagles turkey meatballs.

@kguard1916 I'll look for those. Hope they sell those locally. I'm in Kansas City

I just made my own Swedish meatballs using deer sausage. Mmmmmmmm. I tried using elk burger, but elk is so lean they came out rather dry. I used bread crumbs made from high protein bread and substituted some of the breadcrumbs with un jury unflavored protein powder. (I did the same thing when I made crab cakes.)

Just curious, does store bought ground chicken have more carbs than if you did it yourself? Not that a meat grinder doesn't sound like a fun toy, but I'm lazy and would rather cut that process out lol

@@wannaBthinsoon They might not. I think giant eagle is a Pittsburgh based store.
