Marinara Sauce
Do you count marinara sauce in your fruits and veggies?
-
annefood Hey @ShawnCramer - only if you’re consuming a lot of it (think bowl of tomato soup). Tomatoey marinara is awesome but usually we only have a few tablespoons of it which wouldn’t count as a whole...

Bowl dinners are the best
Quinoa, lentils, avocado, roasted beats, roasted chickpeas, with tomato-cucumber salsa. This delicious dinner came together in about 25 minutes, and it’s balanced and full of veggies!
-
annefood Agreed- I keep whole grains and beans in the pantry and when I don’t know what to do for dinner I just throw them in a bowl with a veggie or lettuce and some dressing.
-
msantiago I never thought of raising beets! I love beets any which way . Think I’ll try that! 🤔
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Super easy to roast. Just oil, salt, pepper and straight into the oven.

-
DietID_TeamDietitians Generally speaking, it’s best to choose unrefined, whole grains whenever possible. When it comes to added sugar in particular, the max recommended amount per day is about 24 grams = 6 teaspoons....

rjoseph852 Yes! I have a vermicomposter and would like to start at BCS.
Composting
Can I compost olive pits, pistachio nut shells, and corn cobs after they’ve been boiled?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians The short answer is yes. But all 3 take longer to compost so for the shells and pits, just know that they will take longer to break down so you may need to filter them out if you’re composting at...
-
mmorawski For the cobs, even after they’re boiled or steamed? I’ve heard that once vegetables are cooked, you shouldn’t compost them. Just wondering…
-
annefood @mmorawski it’s fine to compost cooked veggies as long as they’re only steamed or boiled- so no fat or sauces.
First day eating less meat
-
DietID_TeamDietitians How does it feel? What are you replacing meat with? My favorite meat replacements are mushrooms and jackfruit.

shezza I never tried jackfruit, I’m using soya mince for spaghetti Bol, chilli etc, quorn bacon rashers, bio life cheese(which I hate, looking for another option) soya milk.

msantiago Hi shezza! Best of luck to you!!!
