I always read for sodium content, but that is ME. Others may have to watch their fat intake, etc. So, take what you want from a recipe, pass on the others, but don't expect them to be tailored to just what YOU need. If I want lower sodium, I go to low sodium recipe section, not the make-over section. With the hundreds of thousands of recipes on the web, no one can go without a good recipe tailored to THEIR needs. Have a happy day.

Love this great idea to using leftover chiken and making a new change in menu! The low fat items DID NOT take away from the flavor. I will make this again, and again....

I'm with crbabjab...I always check the nutritional info before I try a new recipe. Not sure how this comes in under "Light and Tasty". Might be tasty - certainly NOT light!
