Vegetarian Chicken/Beef broth substitute?
Just curious, most of the recipies I find for seitan require the usage of chicken or beef broth for flavoring. However, since this is supposed to be a vegetarian meat substitute, how exactly does one find vegetarian beef or chicken broth? Does such a thing even exist?

Sodium and weight loss?
Hi Everyone! I know too much sodium consumption is bad for you because it can increases your blood pressure and such. But it seems like a problem when I try to get low fat or low calories food because the fat or calories are usually being replaced by sugar or sodium.

Frozen Dinners?
I feel like the easiest way to have lunch and/or dinner is to pop a frozen dinner in the microwave, but I'm wondering how healthy this really is. I always stick to the frozen meals that are less than 500 calories, but it seems like the fat, carbs, and sodium is usually really high. Any thoughts on this??
