I’m talking overall, including things like their crackers, and relative to weight, in terms of if you were to eat a similar amount of food off a charcuterie board.
Regardless, lunchables tend to have highly processed cheese and meat that has a lot of saturated fat, added sugars, and yes, a lot of added sodium. About 33% of your daily sodium in a tiny pack with 3 few millimeter thick slices of meat, 3 of the same of cheese, and 3 (small) crackers.
That same pack also contains 35% of your max total daily intake of saturated fat, in just 250 calories, which is over two and a half times the daily max recommended rate of saturated fat compared to calories.
I do think that lunchables tends to have lower fat content relative to other meats, like hard sausages, salami, or prosciutto, but a higher sodium content relative to them. The overall lunchables sets tend to have more calories than their respective weights in other foods often found on charcuterie boards.
…but with more variety and less processed ingredients and better taste and less calories and less sodium and less lead and-
And less plastic
Better taste maybe, but fewer calories and salt than … cheese and sausage?
