Packaged mac and cheese may come with unhealthy chemicals.
In fact, a box of Annie's shells and white cheddar has 20 more calories than a box of Kraft Original mac and cheese, and comparable amounts of sodium and fiber, though Annie's has fewer ingredients (and more organic ones) overall. Kraft and Annie's aren't that different, nutritionally. Is Annie's mac and cheese better for you than Kraft? You would lack virtually all the vitamins and minerals necessary for a long and healthy life. Can you live off of Kraft Mac and Cheese?Įven assuming you use wholewheat macaroni, and high quality cheese with a sauce from scratch, you would be getting almost nothing but carbs, fat and protein, some fibre and a little calcium.
