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 don’t. 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 “Dijon mustard” 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 you’ve been wanting to improve?
Bread 🥖
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....

Does anyone snack on squash and sweet potatoes? What’s a good way to prepare those for snacking or meals on the go?
Salt craving
I’ve been craving salt lately. Is this related to not having added sugar? Is anyone else craving salt?? 🤷🏻♀️
Is it still safe to eat?
Well, before I use a pass...I made a chicken/ veggie soup on Tuesday with grilled chicken leftover from Monday night ...It is still in the pot in the fridge but I am a little concern to eat it. Is ...
Refined Carbohydrates
How many refined carbohydrates roughly are acceptable on a daily basis?
-
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....
Made it to level 2
I just started level 2 on eat one bite at a time. I have trouble swallowing, so I am using this to remind me to slow down and chew properly. I'm not sure why it says I don't have any check-ins tho...
