Microwaveable macaroni and cheese in unprepared form is essentially a shelf-stable, self-contained meal: the pasta and sauce are already packaged together, often with the sauce in a separate liquid or powder pouch. The starch load is very high in this format because you are looking at a concentrated pre-cook ratio. Once prepared as directed, portions moderate significantly. Protein is modest, fiber is low, and the convenience factor is the main selling point. Sodium in this category tends to be substantial, something to account for when building the rest of a meal around it.
