Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.

Costa Vida publishes no sugar or sodium figures anywhere on its nutrition, so the two above are ours rather than theirs — typical figures for roast chicken, 0 g of sugar and 82 mg of sodium per 100 g — while the calories, the macros and the portion are Costa Vida’s own.

Nutrition as published by Costa Vida — check it yourself. Product photograph © Costa Vida, shown to identify the item. Star food — filling for its calories, and enough protein to anchor a meal. The score measures satiety per calorie. It is not a virtue scale, and no food here is forbidden. How the score works.
