the deal with the dried fruit is that it has "abuse potential" some

can't stop once they start eating, Lee

Raises hand. Actually, raises HANDS! Although, last night it was
paella (G)

hmmm, I'm looking at my printed list and tomato juice is on there, but
not on the online list...not V8 (which I LOVE, the low-sodium version,
anyway.) I think,with juices, it's easy to rack up more calories than
you think you're getting...tomato juice still hovers at around 35 for a
large glass...yeah I do need to check on that. I don't get the thing
about dried fruit, either. It's still an apple, even if it's dried and
you make a point NOT to eat more than that equivalent. I like the
whole-wheat pasta thing. Well, all the whole wheat carbohydrates are
right up my alley since I love cous-cous and brown rice etc.
BTW, are you sick and tired of the terms "carbs" and "carbies?" (For
Arby's marketers, this is code for "more grams of fat per serving than
you would care to contemplate, let alone EAT! Has anybody listened to
the "low-carby wrap" commercial closely?)
well, if you are doing points, tomato juice is .4 for one cup

I enjoy it but can eat a single serving, as I tell Fred, step AWAY from the
fruit, Lee

My leader said the real problem is they meant processed meat instead of deli
meat. Lee

I agree with Fred. If your only choices are turkey or chicken breast then
don't worry about it. I think they really meant deli meat like bologna
which
has a lot of additives in it. I don't think they were totally thinking
straight when they included turkey and chicken breast in their list of non
core foods. Yes, some of the turkey/chicken breast might have some
additives
but I suspect that it is small. I use the cut up chicken all the time in
my
salads for lunch. I do pick the kind that has no flavorings or sugar
added.
Call it a tweak but it makes the program workable under difficult
situations. Can you bring your lunch?

Thanks. The deli meat question is of rather keen interest to me because
I eat lunch in the company cafeteria where options are limited.
Sometimes there is a protein on the salad bar to add to the
salad---usually eggs or garbanzo beans, but often the only protein
option for the salad is some kind of deli meat or cheese from the
sandwich area. Plain turkey breast seemed to be the least damaging
option.
