So I recently tried some canned chili, and it wasn't bad. So I decided to do some research online, and found that Hormel's Turkey Chili seems to have pretty decent macros. The version with beans has: 220 cals, 3g fat, 29g carbs, 18g protein.
Their Turkey Chili without beans has: 190 cals, 3g fat, 16g carbs, 23g protein. I feel like these are good macros, overall. Esp. the chili with no beans.
Not for everyday, but on those days you feel too lazy to cook, just want a quick meal, or are on a road trip or camping trip.
I honestly don't see any issue with this every once in a while, and still managing macros. You guys?

Hormel products aren’t usually the tastiest to me, usually taste like grease and sodium with some seasoning. I prefer Stagg chili if I am buying cans. Load it up with shredded cheese, sour cream and chips/doritos.

Stagg for me too with Fritos. Although Hormel owns Stagg now -_-

I'm looking at other cans as well. Wolf makes a variety that is lean beef with no beans. Fat is very low, high protein, moderate carbs. These are excellent macros. If the main issue is sodium, won't cardio neutralize the sodium factor? That's why we drink electrolytes. I go on weighted pack hikes every day where I sweat out tons of water. So in those instances, I don't think sodium would be an issue.
