About Beef stew, canned entree
Canned beef stew is comfort food straight off the pantry shelf: chunks of beef, potato and carrots in a savory brown gravy, fully cooked and ready to warm through on the stove or in the microwave. Shelf-stable and inexpensive, it's the kind of no-fuss meal that's handy for camping, busy nights or a quick lunch.
It's surprisingly light on a per-100-gram basis — about 99 calories, with roughly 4 grams of protein, 5 to 6 grams of fat and 8 grams of carbohydrate from the potato and vegetables. That's because the gravy is largely water. The flip side is that a single can or bowl is usually 400 to 500 grams, so a full serving lands closer to 400 or 500 calories.
Sodium is the main thing to watch, at about 388 milligrams per 100 grams, which adds up across a whole can. The stew does provide some real food — beef for protein and iron, vegetables for a little fiber and vitamins — making it more of an actual meal than many canned convenience foods. Choosing a low-sodium version, or stirring in extra fresh or frozen vegetables, stretches it further and trims the salt.
