Common Questions about Meatless Nuggets, 32 OZ
Well, that depends on your perspective! These nuggets pack a decent protein punch with 13 grams per serving and have a good amount of fiber, which can help keep you feeling full. However, they do contain processed ingredients and sodium, so they might not be the best choice if you're watching your salt intake or aiming for a whole-food diet.
