LDA I have a 24 oz Seahawks (my team) water container I keep with me always. When I get up within the first hour I drink at least the first 24 oz. I drink water throughout the day. If you need flavor I...
How do marinades weigh in regards to eating sugar? ie: a marinade for meat that uses Dijon mustard before cooking.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians So there are marinades that have added sugar and those that donât. Dijon mustard is oftentimes made with honey (which is added sugar) so you can try the same recipe with ground mustard instead. You...

ingalls Thanks! Part of the question stemmed from picking up pre-made stuff. I noticed some things are awesome - like salad dressing listed ingredients. But marinades might just say âDijon mustardâ with no...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!! this is a hard one. Once the new nutrition labels hit the market, they will list out the actual grams of added sugar vs naturally occuring sugar. That should make all the difference. Great...

annefood Are there any areas of your diet youâve been wanting to improve?
Bread đĽ
I normally eat ezekiel bread and noticed one of the main ingredients is honey. Are there any breads without added sugar?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question @AlexB! The Ezekiel low sodium and sesame sprouted breads have 0g added sugar. They have some malted barley, but it must be very little if it didn't register on the nutrition count....

ElanaG Definitely agree. Iâm out of town for work, so I used this drink to recover after a 4 mile run in Denver altitude and 90 degrees đ usually I would have made my own!

garv Nice one. We almost take it for granted that we get enough sunlight & our vit D levels would be normal.
Composting
Can I compost olive pits, pistachio nut shells, and corn cobs after theyâve 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 youâre composting at...
-
mmorawski For the cobs, even after theyâre boiled or steamed? Iâve heard that once vegetables are cooked, you shouldnât compost them. Just wonderingâŚ
-
annefood @mmorawski itâs fine to compost cooked veggies as long as theyâre only steamed or boiled- so no fat or sauces.
