Calories are rounded to the nearest 5; protein, total carbohydrate, fat, and fiber to the nearest gram. Values use USDA FoodData Central reference foods plus stated package profiles for whey and red lentil pasta. They are estimates for the listed ingredients, not laboratory results. The menu totals are calculated before rounding, so adding displayed rounded values may differ slightly.
The reference whey provides 120 calories, 24 grams protein, 4 grams carbohydrate, and 1 gram fat per 31 grams of powder. The red lentil pasta reference provides 180 calories, 13 grams protein, 34 grams carbohydrate, 1.5 grams fat, and 6 grams fiber per 56 grams dry. These are calculation profiles, not required purchases or brand endorsements. Product labels can change.
