Per serving it carries 0g protein and 18g sugar. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Betty Crocker Carrot Cake Mix lists 35 ingredients, starting with Flour, Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron and Thiamin Mononitrate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
