Those of you who are in shape & thin.....:)

Do you eat milk products, or have you cut them out of your diet due to sugar content? Like Yogurt or Cottage Cheese? or reduced fat cheese?
I read through a thread that it is not a good food choice if it is more than 20% sugar from carbohydrate content. My cottage cheese has 4 grams of carbs & 3 sugar! :eek:

Do you eat lunch meats like lean ham? The sodium is so high.

I eat very clean, but I am so unsure of my protein sources. I usually just stick with grilled chicken or egg whites, but I'm getting sick of it.
 
Aries,

I'm not sure what everyone else does, but I personally rarely eat cottage cheese because it usually bloats me a bit. I find I can handle it in protien pancakes, but that pretty much it. Lunchmeat, once in a while, but not on a daily basis.

I usually have chicken-there are many ways to eat it, I mix it up a lot. Yesturday I threw a chicken breast on my george foreman grill, toasted 1 slice of natural oven's hunger filler bread, spread some BBQ sauce on the toast and topped it off with the chicken, and rounded the meal off with some raw cauliflower dipped in Just 2 Good 1000 Island. I just made my daughter chicken cut up and mixed with a little guacamole, FF sour cream and tomatoes and you could serve this with a high fiber or LC tortilla. For breakfast today I had a mexican egg tortilla-egg beaters, FF cheddar, salsa, FF sour cream and shredded lettuce wrapped up in a high fiber whole grain tortilla. I usually try and have tuna once a week, egg whites, turkey ham, shrimp, turkey patties, whey protien, lean beef once a week, canned salmon or crab, smoked salmon, grilled fish, 96% lean ground beef grilled on the george foreman-I like this because it has a sloping bottom which discards most of the fat, turkey or chicken sausages-there are a lot of different types of these available, protien pancakes, protien oatmeal....have you tried looking thew some of the diaries? Some people try and list their menus and you can get some ideas there as well.

Good luck! And happy cooking!!

BBQ Chicken idea

Sandy -

Were you the one who said u and ur hubby grill/BBQ like 5lbs of chicken at the beg of the week so u will have left overs for salads, etc??? If so, GREAT IDEA! I did that last night and had some in my salad tonight for dinner! YUM YUM! And I had a couple tbsp of BBQ sauce rather than dressing and it was sooooo good! :p

Alpine Lace makes low sodium turkey for lunch meat if you like turkey. That's what I eat along with Alpine Lace cheese on 7 grain bread or a wrap. I'm not sure if they make other lunch meats low sodium, might be something you could ask your local deli.
 
Sorry Wendy, the credit for that one goes to someone else! But you are right, it is an absolutely great idea. That way you always have something easy and healthy to grab in a pinch!

Man, if we have to avoid things that have more than 20% sugar carbs I'm screwed! Doesn't fruit have a lot of sugar carbs? Or is that "good sugar" so to speak?!

Oh, and I eat lunch meat everyday! I never even thought of the sodium content! Yikes! I'm thoroughly interested in the responses to these questions.

I know! I think it came from trainer lynn in another thread somewhere about yogurt! I'm so confused & could use some guidance!
 
Quote....." Through my education I was ALWAYS taught... if the total amount of sugars is more than 20% of the carbs... don't eat it." Trainer Lynn

This is what confused me when she said the above quote:confused:
 
Cottage cheese is a fine protein source so long as you have no reactions from it. Some people are sensitive to dairy products.

Lunch meats... ugh. Too man fillers. Too much crap. Too many hormones. There are lunch meats out there that are hormone free and have no fillers though. I recommend those over regular lunch meat.

Yogurt is fine so long as it isn't loaded with sugar. The thread someone is referring too talks about a host of other issues with yogurt. Some yogurt is totally fine. BUT a lot of yogurt is nothing more than processed carbs and sugar. That's not good. Just look on the label.

Fruit is a natural food source. It does not contain "fake" sugar. Therefore it is exempt from the 20% rule. However, we all know not to eat a lot of fruit nearer to bed time because of the sugar content.

Back to the original question... picking protein sources... chicken, turkey, salmon, tuna, beans, tofu, seitan, tempeh, soynuts, greens, eggs, cottage cheese...
 
mostly greens, fruit, and lean proteins for me.
