Chili

[beastboy]

I am addicted to this stuff. It seems like it is a pretty balanced meal (until about an hour after). I love it.....anyone have a take on it as far as pro/carb/fat????

I think as long as the beef is pretty lean and you avoid all the toppings, it's pretty good. Never could stand the stuff myself, but not a bad meal nutrition-wise.

Kind of depends on what you put in it. With masa flour and tomato sauce, beer (I always put a can of dark beer in mine) you're looking at lots of carbs. Also the beef or chicken broth can have a lot of added salt.

But if you make a "stripped down" chili, with just lean beef, beans, onions, garlic, green peppers, water and seasonings it probably wouldn't be too bad.
