Fat Breakdown
Saturated	2g
Unsaturated	11g

Fat (13g)
115 Calories

The USDA recommends 20-35% of calories come from fat; however, there are good fats and bad fats. Unsaturated fats are considered good fats and are found in nuts, seeds, most vegetable oils, poultry, and fish. Olive oil is largely monounsaturated and a key component to the Mediterranean diet pyramid. Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fats and found in soy, walnuts, flax and chia seeds, fish and shellfish. Saturated fats are not as good for us and therefore should not represent more than 10% of total calories in our diet. Sources of saturated fats include red meat, high-fat dairy (butter, cream, cheese, etc.), palm and coconut oil.

SPE promotes the use of ingredients with higher amounts of unsaturated fat than saturated fat. The fat in this dish comes from the olive oil. 10% of calories come from saturated fat.

Protein Breakdown
Total	2g

Protein (2g)
9 Calories

The USDA recommends 10-35% of calories come from protein; however, some protein sources are better for you than others. Proteins from lean meats, poultry, seafood and low-fat dairy provide the essential amino acids your body needs without too much additional saturated fat. Plant-based protein sources such as legumes, nuts and soy are also good choices with higher quality fats.

The minimal protein in this dish comes from the watermelon and tomato.
