For those who are intereested, assuming 8 servings:  Calories: 406, 34g Protein, 9g Carb (net), 25g Fat

Also would work just fine with veggie crumbles, which I tolerate a bit more than real meat.

Ya I am sure that would taste good....lol I think I would explode if I had 8 servings or even 1 whole serving hahaha - I just did a little over a 1/4 cup when I ate it

Mmm!  Can't wait to try this over the weekend!!
