Buying Food

ilovedogs

When you all buy your food do you only look at the calories or at the saturated fat as well?

I usually only look at the calories and sometimes the fat.

LOL I read the topic as Burying Food....and I wondered if it was a calorie saving or hoarding idea....:laugh: :laugh:

I look at the Calories and Sodium. When I'm buying whole grains, I also look at fiber.

I check carbs fist, then calories, fiber & sodium.

I primarily buy from the perimeter of the store, so there are not many labels to check.

I purchase only grass fed beef that doesn't contain any hormones or anti-biotics. Same with chicken, only free range chicken is cooked in my house. I purchased pork recently from a local butcher and will not purchase from a regular grocery store as long as I can afford not to.

I purchase organic vegetables and fruit that are listed as the "dirty dozen"...........
