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 Miss Violette wrote: I didn't think any juice was core, Lee newsgroups.bellsouth.net wrote in message ... |

The Complete Food companion indicates that Tomato juice is not core. I
suspect it has some sugar and other additives in it plus the calories are higher than having the real thing. Dried fruit has higher calories per ounce than the real thing because all of the water/juice is removed. You have to eat more to be satisfied. Ditto with fruit & vegtable juices. Less bulk for the calories you get. Core is about filling you up on less food and less calories.

I make it a habit to avoid juice because I use it for traveling vegetables.
the deal with the dried fruit is that it has "abuse potential" some people can't stop once they start eating, Lee Nancy C Kenfield wrote in message .. . 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.)

Yes, for some people (Fred??) dried fruit can be as bad as candy. I love
raisons but can't stop eating them so I can understand the potential abuse factor. "Miss Violette" wrote in message ...

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. |

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? wrote in message oups.com... Thanks.
