thanks Suz. I am almost POSITIVE that I read somewhere that cucumbers had

very little nutritive value - much less than other salad greens. So Bob,

did you run this through DWIDP? Why did you pick CUCS?

I'm interested 'cause we eat a lot of them at my house - especially in the

summer.

HellOOOO everybody!

The idea behind choosing cucumbers was because THEY HAVE SO LITTLE

NUTRITION. Under the premise that I could only choose one food, I

had to assume that I needed to meet my calorie requirement for the

day. Cucumbers were the only food I could come up with that had so

little nutrition that if I ate 1750 calories worth, I wouldn't

overdo the nutrition and inadvertantly poison myself. I chose

cucumbers with skin from DWIDP. Cucumber is a great filler food.

Very few calories and very little nutrition. Just takes up room in

your stomach and makes you feel fuller...doesn't last very long

though.
