nutrition expert....chili?

[phatkid77]

wife made some chili...and i hate these types dishes for these reasons... dont really have clue what ratio you are getting.....but they do taste good...

so, the whole batch had 2lb beef, 1 can red kidney beans, tomato paste and spices.....

ANY IDEA HOW TO FIGURE OUT NUTRITIONAL BREAKDOWN??

quick search, adn 12oz would be

protein....25g
carbs.....39g
fat........18g

does this sound close....just looking to ball park so i know if i need to add 8egg whites or scoop protein...

thanks guys.....

i hate sheppard pie too.....fack

just looked at wendys.com
theres is 340gm...or 12oz

is 9g fat
21g pro
29g carb

guess thats "standard" or close...

Depends on how lean the beef is.. that could change the fat total quite a bit (and the protein slightly too).

I make chili all the time. When I make it, I just add together the stats for all the cans of food, lbs of meat, etc. I scoop my chili into individual serving containers. Divide the totals by the number of servings and you've got it.

Just to chirp in, saw recently that fat content on minced beef are not always accurate, in a study done in the UK on several supermarket minced beef and ultra lean minced beef fat was upto 5 times more than declared on the label, so if your watchin your diet really close, I would say use minced turkey instead, it still tastes great.
