Broccoli soup for lunch! Filling, keeps me hydrated and helps curb those pesky sugar cravings. I made a pot over the weekend and I simply reheat a portion for lunch.

NehaNBB I have so much frozen broccoli and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I'll try to make this.
Does maple syrup added to Greek yogurt count as added sugar?
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Hey @parkjimjam! Love your handle :) Yes, maple syrup is still added sugar even though it's more natural than processed sugar. I personally like to add mashed ripe fruit like bananas and...

parkjimjam @darkchocolatepeanutbutter I see! thank you so much for the suggestions!!
-
akhilg2002 That's a good idea @darkchocolatepeanutbutter !!
For the Eat Less Meat challenge remember it is still important that you get protein. Nuts, milk, yogurt, eggs and beans are high in protein.
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Yes absolutely @purplebatman! Also I love your handle :)
-
annefood Awesome tip @purplebatman !

Kingofkatz Just curious, how is meat bad anyway?

Does it still count if I had 7 glasses of water and a smoothie?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep!!!! Smoothies have ice in them so that counts as a glass of water 👍👍👍
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Absolutely! Anything consisting of liquids counts although I suggest if you consume a caffeinated drink like coffee or green tea, to drink a glass of water afterwards. Caffeine can dehydrate the...
-
lenaaaap I have to disagree with darkchocolatepeanutbutter! Not anything consisting liquids count. You can't drink coke or something . It only counts water and unsweetened tee. But a smoothie is also ok...
I drank through a straw and managed to drink 6 big cups of water!! So proud

Do lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a sandwich count as a serving of fruits and vegetables?
-
bubblegem Well it depends on the amount of each maybe you could have 2 sandwiches and mix up the veggies on each one!
-
nikkipayne21 I think it does. I mean you're putting those vegetables in your body.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @cristianpereira - if all 3 amount to about a cup, or a fist-full, then yes! It counts as 1 serving!
How i can avoid eating snacks?
-
lauren I keep my water bottle on me at all times! I think I read somewhere that when we crave salty snacks, we actually need water and could be dehydrated
-
emmie Eating snacks isn't necessarily bad for you- as long as they are healthy and a small size. :)
-
DietID_TeamDietitians For late night snacking, I get a cup of herbal tea instead so it fulfills my craving to consume something flavorful, makes me feel warm, but doesn't have caffeine so I won't stay up too late.
-
annefood
Hey @juliasalviati ! I make a cup of herbal tea later in the evening so I have something to sip on. Some sort of distraction like reading a good book, watching a movie, or playing a game can take...

Hi @juliasalvati! A little meditation or yoga is a good way to unwind. I also like to light a candle and listen to classical music :)
