Emotional eater wanting chocolate.
Yup. That's me. I want chocolate right now. I can almost taste it. I got some crappy work news today (job changes) and I'm stressed, and ticked off, and angry that no one spoke to me about my job before making some pretty big changes and then assumed I already knew. So now, I want to indulge, because I feel like i deserve…

Over on protein?
I am usually pretty good about staying within the dietary goals MFP has set for me, but I almost always go over on protein; I usually eat some with every meal. I'm not all that concerned about it, so I guess my question is should I be?

To much sodium
For snacks or even lunch I like to eat deli meats (Chicken, Turkey, etc) basically whatever has the least calories and taste good (no bread). The problem is, "TO MUCH SODIUM" in these low cal snacks. Does anyone know another type of meat that doesn't have all the sodium and is lean for the low calories?
