Sodium. Macaroni and cheese is always high in all of these, but sodium takes the cake. It is nearly impossible to make a boxed or packaged dinner that doesn't include a large amount of sodium and macaroni and cheese is no exception. Luckily, sodium unlike the others won't make you fat, but it can be bad for other parts of your body, such as your kidneys. Always make sure you drink lots of water with a large bowl of macaroni and cheese. It too has been increasingly common to add less margarine (responsible for most of the fat or sat fat) in many mac and cheese recipes, since it is becoming of increasing concern.
