Frustrated with Healthy choice

marnieinMB

I just ate the HC Golden Roasted turkey dinner. Im trying to keep my sugar down so I skipped the dessert that came with it. Problem is now my numbers are off becuase I don't know what to subtract from my diary entry. I even called HC and sat on hold for ten minutes only to be told they did not have an answer.

I know, simple solution. From now on I will get the smaller sized meals with out dessert.

I never get the meals that come with dessert. The desserts just aren't worth eating anyway. Sorry you didn't get answers!

Hi, that is frustrating! Only thing with ready made meals usually are the sodium and that can make you retain water and not lose weight. I never realized how many foods have sodium in them! You can track your sodium on here if you didn't know. Usually those dinners are low cal but high sodium! Argh sometimes it's hard to make healthy food choices. Good luck on your journey:)

Maybe try looking up a similar dessert and then subtract that from your meal. You could just do quick added calories for that today.

What was the dessert? Look it up and subtract that.

Yeah I'm sure the food companies just send the whole meal to the lab to get the nutrient info rather than getting each item analyzed individually. Saves cost and most people eat the whole meal anyway and the whole meal info is what they need for the package. Would be kinda cool if they had that kind of detailed data though.
