I'm supposed to stick to a low-fat diet for gallbladder issues and I'm doing some meal planning. I went through my cabinets and found a can of chicken corn chowder. It has 7g of fat per serving (1 cup/248g), none of them are trans fat so that's good, but 1.5 of them are saturated.

One can supposedly has 2.11 servings, but I'd probably split it into three sittings over days. So I'd be getting approx. 5g of fat if I did it evenly.

It says the main ingredients are chicken broth, corn, white chicken meat, potatoes, celery, and onion, and contains less than 2% of soybean oil, modified food starch, sugar, smoked bacon, water, corn flour, soy protein concentrate, cream, sodium phosphate, butter, (spices and flavoring)

Should I just give the can to someone else?

It looks so good but I don't want to upset my stomach again. I had yogurt last night which had 4g fat and that didn't cause issues.



(If anyone has other really good ideas for CHEAP EASY meals that my insides won't pitch a fit about, throw 'em at me)
