Re: Question for everyone....

If and when I do read a label I am usually more interested in the sodium content or the fiber(I have IBS) or the protein.  Without some protein I can get feeling pretty bad.  I no longer eat that fake cheese either.  I had 2 little cubes of real cheese and it just curbed my appetite so good.  Sometimes I have it with some apple slices in the afternoon just because I love it.  I don't think you have to stop reading labels altogether and I know some of those frozen ones are loaded with sodium.  Every person is different and I think you have to do what is right for you.  I have to watch out for the food police.

When I go to the store to shop is it okay to look at calories (or fat or sodium)? I mean, to me it just seems the healthy thing to do. I am not saying only by low calorie food. I will always have my peanut butter, ice cream, and nutella...YUMMY! And don't forget cheese...I love love love cheese (and the fat free or reduced kind is gross...it will never cross these lips again...LOL). But, when I am buying frozen meals, as I often do, shouldn't I look at the nutritional info...just to be healthy? Is that a big no-no in the world of IE? I was just wondering because I have always done the 2-4-8 rule for frozen meals and just don't see why I should stop that. And really, the only things that I ever look at the label on is the frozen meals. Should I stop doing that? I mean, would that be considered to diet-like even though the only reason I do it is because of health reasons.

Be blessed,
