ROUND 1 - CALORIES
Janes - 260
Gardein - 250

WINNER: TIE

Both products have comparable calorie counts and because the grams in each serving are a little different I'm going to call this one a tie!


ROUND 2 - FAT
Janes - 13g  20%DV
Gardein - 9g  14%DV

WINNER: Gardein Chick'n

By eating two servings of the Jane's strips you're at nearly half your allotted fat intake for the day. Gardein filets come in under 8g less over 2 servings, go ahead and indulge !


ROUND 3 - SODIUM
Janes - 490mg  20%
Gardein - 350mg  15%

WINNNER: Gardein Chick'n

Pairing either option with a fresh salad would be a pretty balanced meal however I go back to the seconds again. 2 servings and you're inching close to half your days worth of sodium for the Janes.
60mg less sodium per serving makes Gardein the better choice !


ROUND 4 - PROTEIN
Janes - 13g
Gardein - 22g

WINNER: Gardein Chick'n

Surprising? Once again shattering the illusion that vegetarians don't consume enough protein, Gardein Chick'n comes in at 9g of Protein per serving more than its competitor.
Numbers don't lie !


ROUND 5 - VITAMINS AND MINERALS

WINNER: Gardein Chick'n

Look at the astounding difference in nutrients per serving. Gardein Chick'n fliets provide at least 10% or more of 9 essential Vitamins and Minerals. The term SUPERFOOD kind of fits here no?


And the winner is. . . . .

 GARDEIN CHICK'N FILETS

Winning 4 out of 5 rounds, Gardein takes the trophy of healthier choice in this Cluckin Chicken Ceompetition. Enjoy these for your next Meatless Monday ;)

Choices to feel good about.
