It may help you get focused on more healthy balance. <BR/><BR/>For instance, this is how I would label this days' meals:<BR/><BR/>Meal One:<BR/>the coffee = Sugar and possibly dairy if there was a serving size of milk in it.<BR/><BR/>Meal Two:<BR/>cream soda = Sugar (any soda pop I count as sugar)<BR/>the sandwich = Dairy, veggie, refined grain (if the bread used was whole grain, then label it as such, it's important)<BR/>the chips = Fat, processed carbs/sugar. I personally would not count as a veggie.<BR/><BR/>Meal Three:<BR/>the pizza: dairy, fat, refined grain (unless you got wholegrain crust), and maybe veggie because of the sauce.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, there's a place for pizza, i love it too! But, maybe not the same day as having a cheese sandwhich? Sometimes one can't plan the day out well, and that's ok.<BR/><BR/>It took me a while as a vegetarian to really realize what I was eating. Classifying what I eat into food groups helps me eat a more balanced diet, and maybe you would find it useful too.Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03357174308657673889noreply@blogger.com
