Cheers will do!

Do you drain and rinse the chickpeas from the can or add it all in? That juice stuff kinda scares me as it fizzes up when i wash it out with water!!! can't be healthy or natural!Smile

As for the vegetarian question by narfblast, yah you're right. i wouldn't say i am a vegetarian because i eat fish and meat occasionally too but i do need to pick up my protein levels, and the iron levels specifically too as i feel my energy can be quite low.

it's a learning curve for sure!

thats a good thread too spek....i'm not an expert but i think too much fruit is worse than too muchvegetables...my friend is a dietitian (almost, half-way through university) and she said we can eat as much vegetables and potatoes as we like...and that if we knew how bad white pasta was we would be scared!she refused to tell us why. Frownhope that doesn't scare anyone haha but as gi-jane and chubb2lose and spek all said, it is all about the balance.

it's interesting though...it has probably been less than a week since i have cut down on my fruit intake, especially in the morning with my breakfast but i feel better all ready if that is possible? especially concerning... to put it as nicely as possible bowel movements...which i have had issues with before.

so thanks for the replies guys!

the change but most importantly the improvements are visible already!

Hey Chub2lose,

 I looked at my anaylsis from my food journal, and I am getting 72grams of sugar a day, and the ratio  is 72.1 carbs/  9.7%protein / 18.2% fat...thats not very good!  yet my anaylsis gives me a nutrition grade of A

I plan to cut down on the dried fruit and the fruit at breakfast now...but what to snack on  if its not fruit.. its hard to get natural foods if they're not fruit and raedy to hand. rice cakes?

I am studying at the moment so im hoping when i finish the snacking will reduce too!
