About Fast foods, chili con carne
Chili con carne is a hearty stew of ground beef simmered with chili peppers, and usually beans, tomatoes and spices. Because so much of it is water and vegetables, it's surprisingly moderate in calories for a meaty, filling dish, and the beef-and-bean combination makes it genuinely nutritious.
Per 100 grams it provides about 101 calories, with a solid 9.7 grams of protein, 8.7 grams of carbohydrate and only 3.3 grams of fat. It's a good source of iron (around 2.1 milligrams) and potassium (about 273 milligrams) from the beef and beans, while sodium is moderate at roughly 398 milligrams per 100 grams.
As fast-food and diner fare goes, chili is one of the more balanced options — lean on calories for its size, rich in protein and iron, and naturally filling thanks to the beans. Cheese, sour cream and a side of cornbread are what add up, so the chili on its own is the wholesome part of the bowl.
