Yes it is, so per serve it probably would be ok for some. I think from
what I am seeing, that the main part of "Swedish" meatballs is the
creamy sauce on top so one could make meatlballs a la lower carb with
their favourite recipe. Norwegian ones seem to have 3 meats (beef, veal
and pork) plus brown gravy.
