📊 Nutrition Notes
Kangaroo contains high levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which may actually help with fat metabolism. This meal is very high in protein relative to calories, which helps maintain muscle mass during weight loss. The vegetable ratio is higher than standard meals to increase fibre and reduce caloric density.

- No oil needed — kangaroo is so lean it cooks well in its own moisture
