Is this for real??

So I bought some Fareway Bratwurst patties last night, thinking there's all kinds of fillers in them I can't have them, but the kids wanted them....
Um...
Calories 390
Carbs 0
Fat 32
Protien 24

Other than them being fairly high in calories. (and incredibly salty) Is this for real? Like I can have a "convenience" food - cause all these require is throwing them on the grill wrapping in a piece of lettuce if desired and voila - a meal.

Where's the catch?

    Sounds good to me. I tried googling but I couldn't find anything on it. Is fareway a local store near you?

    Yes Fareway is a local store brand. And the myfitness pal matched up with the container (for once lol)

    Another quick question - does 1600 cals, 20 carbs, 124 fat, 100 protein, 64 sugar, 25 fiber. Does that look/sound way off? I readjusted to get to the low low carbs. And it only gives me three % boxes to change on here.

    I bought store-brand bratwursts here (I can't remember if they are Kroger or HEB), but they have 3g carbs per link. Lucky you if yours really are zero-carb!

    You can change the other percentages on another page. Pretty certain you can't eat 64g sugar and only 20g carbs. :p Micronutrients is the column next to macros on the Goals page.

    Percentages are 5c, 70f, 25p for those who are playing from home. Seems to be about right.

    I don't ever look at my sugars. I watch my carbs, protein, fat and that's it. I add lo salt and salt to everything and take magnesium so I know im good

    I think the sugar and fiber are default numbers that MFP gives you? You can change it though, under "Goals" and then "micronutrients".

    Yeah I didn't see where I could change the sugar and fiber, but I'll take a look now.

    And as far as those pattys being zero carb, I won't hold my breath but they're better than not. :)

    It can be done on a computer, not sure on phone app.

    I love johnsonville better with cheddar sausages. They have a couple carbs but I make room for them.
