Went to the gym this morning, then ran a couple of errands. In the

still pretty full from last night, and a tad dyspeptic this morning
from all the cheese.

small dark chocolate truffle
* 4:30 (winery): 5 oz. wine
* 8:30 (home): 2 cups vegetable beef soup

Totals: 864 calories (95 from alcohol), 12g fat (12%), 88g carbs
(41%), 75g protein (35%)

Exercise:

Plus, it's amazing how filling soup can be with so few calories. My
problem is though, unless the canned soup is low sodium, it tastes too
salty for me.

I don't seem to have the sensitivity to salt that some folks here do
-- I like most canned soups just fine. There are some things that
taste too salty to me -- for example, most pizza that I've tried in
the last few years -- but I haven't noticed it with soup.

I agree that soup is very filling for the calories. I never used to
eat it much but have really been enjoying it this winter.

My husband is really into homemade soup the past couple of years. He
even makes it himself at times! His faves are squash soup and fall
veggie puree. Oh, and Hannah Gruen's Italian Sausage Soup.

But you're right. You can get yourself filled right up for under 200
calories. A person can even afford the calories in a piece of bread to
go with.

I bought a can of low sodium mushroom soup last week, it tasted like
dish water....

If you are trying to eat low sodium, almost anything in a can except
fruit is out of the picture. Also any meal replacement type frozen
stuff. 1500 mg of sodium is very difficult, unless you make everything
from scratch.

Been there, done that.

run to dig box of Lean Cuisine out of garbage..... This one I had
tonight (Cheese Ravioli) is 600, the highest one in my freezer is 690.
You want to really faint, check out the shelf-stable boxed dinners sometime,
they are a stroke in a box.

I'm not really overly concerned with sodium, as much as extra fat and high
carbs. Where I got stung was the meal replacement bars, many of them are
extrordinarily high fat and calories, for the satisfaction the give you
(which is not much), but they were a big help in the initial,
gotta-get-control stage. But especailly for breakfast, you are much better
off eating real grain cereal and whole fruit or a vegetable omelette.

I thought it was unwise to drink and eat at the same time. That's
what a soup makes you do, isn'it?

While eating your meal, for the most part, do not drink with it.

This dilutes the stomach acids and digestive enzymes. It is best to
drink 30 minutes before your meal - this helps uptake of nutrients and
move bowels. It is best not to drink for 1 hour post-meal to help the
enzymes and stomach acids do their work.
