Energy (kcal) Per portionWe believe that you should focus more on the quality of what you eat than the quantity. In this respect we would suggest that you look at the Glycemic load (below) more closely than you look at calories.	130.0
Protein (Grams) per portionAlongside fats, the essential building blocks of the body. When eaten as part of a balanced lunch, breakfast or dinner they also slow the release of energy in the body- keeping you full and full of energy for longer. Unless you are exercising that day as a general rule at lunch and dinner, a ratio of 2 parts vegetables to 1 part protein to 1 part (good) carbs is about right.	5.9
CarbohydrateThere are good carbs and bad carbs. The best way to measure your intake is not through grams of carbohydrate, which doesn’t distinguish between the two. Instead we measure the Glycemic index and Glycemic load of a dish. As an easy guide we have developed the following icon a dish with this has a Glycemic load index of less than a score of 10; Glycemic loading is a way of measuring how much a carbohydrate food will increase blood sugar levels. Low GL carbs are digested slowly and increase blood sugar levels slowly and High GL has the opposite effect and gives a blood sugar peak and then a dip.	15.5
Carbs (Grams) per portion	15.5
Carbs which of sugar (Grams) per portion	5.8
Glycemic index	2.8
Glycemic loading	0.4
FatFats are essential to the healthy running of our bodies, in particular omega 3 fats, which you find in rapeseed oil and linseeds - all of which are mainstays of the leon menu. The icon indicates dishes which have less than 1.5% saturated fat per 100g of our dish.	4.9
Fat (Grams) per portion	4.9
Saturated fat (Grams) per portion	0.4
Mono-saturated fat(Grams) per portion	2.3
Poly-saturated (Grams) per portion	1.1
Salt (Grams) per portionSalt can give you high blood pressure and heart disease in salt-sensitive people. At Leon, we make our dishes taste great by using fresh ingredients, herbs, and spices. So the levels of salt in our dishes tend to be pretty low.	2.1
