[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 5566478, member: 14197"] All good suggestions. To add to #1, don't just look at the grams of sugar in the nutritional grid, look at the ingredient list. That list alone can get scary. If you want to add some sweetener to iced tea or your cereal, again try stevia, no-calorie natural sweetener. I know you said it tasted bitter to you, but i think that was more the brand than the stevia itself. Oh, like Danny's #1 above read the labels thoroughly. Ground turkey is supposed to be a good healthy choice, right? uh-huh... Just make sure you read the labels...
