Macronutrient Rating
Per Serving: 22g protein | 28g carbs | 5g fat | 10g sugar | 1g saturated fat
Explanation: The protein is solid, and the carb content is moderate, largely coming from the rice. The fat content is low, and the sugar is on the higher side, likely from the honey glaze. The dish is balanced but could be a little more fat-focused for those on higher-protein, lower-carb diets.
