Hi NS

You said "I'm a little suspicious on the carbs they seem a
little low to me."

I ran it through DWIDB and came up with numbers not too far
off those for five serves:

Calories 133.6
Protein 11.4
Total Fat 5.2
Sat. Fat 0.78
Mono. Fat 2.9
Poly. Fat 1.2
Carbohydrate 11
Fiber 2.34

However, the serve size looks quite unrealistic, with one
cup of chicken meat and 1 1/2 cups of other solid
ingredients being spread across five serves. I'd suspect
that, without rice, this would be a modest meal for two,
which would give, per serve:

Calories 334
Protein 28.5
Total Fat 13
Sat. Fat 1.95
Mono. Fat 7.25
Poly. Fat 3
Carbohydrate 27.5
Fiber 5.85

I could probably handle that for dinner. I think I'd swap
the skim milk for coconut cream, which would increase the
fat and decrease the carbs a little.

Of course, if you made it a meal for five by adding lots of
rice and naan bread the carb count would be swamped by that.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
