The nutrition facts reveal that each Mega Nugget contains 190 calories, 11 grams of fat (2.5 saturated, 0 trans), 35.3mg cholesterol, 450mg sodium, 12 carbs, and 10g protein. While the calorie count is moderate, the high sodium content (45% of the daily value) and added sugars suggest this product is more processed and less healthy.
The product appears to be ultra-processed due to its reliance on enriched wheat flour, artificial coloring extracts, and other additives like powdered cellulose and whey protein isolate. These ingredients indicate significant processing steps beyond minimal preparation, consistent with ultra-processed foods that are typically high in sodium, sugars, and artificial components.
For a healthier alternative, consider choosing plain grilled or baked chicken breast without breading for lower fat, sodium, and added sugars content.
