i went grocery shopping yesterday and was buying all healthy stuff and bought something called south beach diet and it said high Protein 250 calories after i ate it out of curiosity i looked at the nutrition information and found that ya 250 calories good protein but then noticed 30% dv sodium and 27% dv sat fat im a lil pissed i ate it under the presumption i was eating healthy was it my fault for not looking carefully at nutrition fact and just looking at front of the box or is it companies that stress the few good things and hide the bad

Yes Thunder,

I really read at the grocery store too. Sometimes I am reading and I go yikes and put it down really quickly. I'm sure that looks funny to someone casually looking my way.

I really enjoy the flavored rice,popcorn cakes. They really fill me up quick. They come in bbq (yum),chocolate,carmel,sugar and cinnamon, and graham cracker (good with a little bit of peanut butter).

good luck

Frozen meals are terrible for you. There aren't a ton on the market that I would eat. I did find some seafood the other day that was really healthy. But after looking at the super market I found it difficult to buy anything frozen.

I avoid frozen foods for the most part, and I also avoid Protein bars and shakes as there is some credible information out there that taking in that much soy based Protein on a regular basis is quite dangerous.

Fresh food is the best, its as simple as that, and even better if you can source organic produce. I buy very very little that comes in boxes or packets.

Of course we all need some convenience products now and again but I really truly believe a large part of concquering your weight problem is in learning to shop and cook from scratch, around your schedule. There's no point saying you're too busy as you will never be as healthy as you want to be if you continually eat convenience foods.

Become an avid label reader, it really pays. Its like with carb foods too - check how many of the carbs are from sugar, if its a high percentage, perhaps dont eat it, if its not then its a good carb food. Check the fat, check the protein and check the salt are the main things.
