I just can not believe how much SUGAR is in EVERYTHING!
I am always over in my sugar. Sugar is in practically everything.
I sure never knew this. Sugar is sneaky and evil.
What have you learned about food/nutrition since you've been on MFP?

I learned to read food lables before I put the food in my mouth, not afterwards and then have to ask my self. "Why did I eat that?"0

Too true!
Both sodium & salt are the evil pair that lurk in most foods on the shelves these days!
I learned to manage my calories a whole lot more effectively - in the beginning I would eat rubbishy food, because I could and still be under but end the day feeling rubbish, slumped & hungry..Much better now I've started taking the GI index of foods into account, I rarely slump and feel much more satisfied with the food I am eating :-) xx0 -

I noticed how much difference there is inbetween the low fat/sugar and normal versions of the same product. I used to think it was just a selling gimmick and there was only a slight difference, i used to go for the normal products cause they tasted a tiny bit better, now i normally go for the lighter versions.0

I've learned to stop keeping track of sugar in MFP, because it doesn't distinguish between good sugars (like fruit) and bad sugars (like candy)! I was going way over each day by eating my daily 3 servings of fruit!!!0
