Comparing both the analysis, the chicken macaroni is a much healthier choice. It contains much less cholesterol and sodium.

From this, we can conclude that if we are mindful of the type of ingredients that we use in a dish, we can have a much healthier meal and it will also taste just as delicious. So let's make an effort to chose wisely...
