Stouffer's is Ripping You Off

After a lifetime of never having mac and cheees as a dinner main, I recently added it to my rotation, replacing my regular linguine and meatballs every other week. I don't always feel like making meatballs (and I don't always have the ingredients I need). Anyway, I usually make Mac and Cheese from scratch, but sometimes I have some left ofer and rather than making a new batch, I'll just add some Stouffer's. I keep track of my calories, so I have to keep track of how much of each product I'm eating. While making these measurements, I discovered that Stouffer's wasn't giving me nearly as much product as they claim.

I usually buy the Single Server Mac & Cheese; the package says it's 340g for the whole package.

In reality, I've measured more than 300g of food maybe once; the usual amount is 295g. In fact, the entire package including the plastic tray is < 320g. The good news is that there are fewer calories in the package than indicated on the label.But you're getting 14% less food than the package claims.

One time I bought this product by mistake; I like the classic recipe better. This one has a lot more calories; 480 calories for 226g of food.

Of course there isn't 226g of food in the package. With the tray, it was 214g. 192g of mac and cheese; and yes I scraped out every bit of cheese from the tray.

Again, fewer calories than indicated, but not nearly as much food as they claim.
