    Lots of veggies? I only see a green pepper and potato (that's only technically a veggie as it has about as much nutrition as pasta). Onion is more of a seasoning (although probably more nutritious than the potato). Tomato sauce is not a veggie either, not any more than ketchup or sweet relish are.

    Another tip: some grocery stores (like Wegman’s) sell frozen mushrooms for cheap! If you don’t think you’ll use an entire carton of mushrooms fast enough because you’re only cooking for 1, frozen is the way to go. Taste just as good as fresh mushrooms. I add them (and frozen bell peppers) to ramen, chow mein, pizza, pasta, etc

    Mushrooms are a meaty substitute in texture but they are not high in protein. In that whole package there’s about 6g. That is less than 1 egg’s worth protein, divided among however many servings.
