    not weird at all, Soup is very easy to make and I use fat free no added sodium broth and just add chicken lots of veggies, and it is much better than a can

    Yes, I would blot to save calories and because all the oil is just nasty (sure does make the pizza taste good though! ;-) Pizza is my weakness.... OK, one of them....the BIGGEST one! As for the broth, yeah, less sodium is a great thing, especially if you don't miss it! I probably wouldn't log any differently though... I"d rather err on the side of deducting too many calories than not enough. Great work, keep going! Veronica

    I think you should be buying better pizza and soup. Unless it's with pepperoni, a pizza really shouldn't be greasy unless they are using a low-quality "cheese product" and there are lots of excellent lower-sodium soups out there that have more flavor.

    Bingo.
    Beyond buying better foods, have you considered making them yourself? Homemade pizza and soups happen on a weekly basis at my house. They are surprisingly easy to make.

    I think every little bit helps and there is no reason to eat things you don't miss.

    I don't miss brussel sprouts...does that mean i can skip eating them!? hehe

    LoL, I don't miss them either

    I used to loathe the sprout with a passion, and then I learned how to bake them and OMG they're good that way! Toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil, some crushed garlic and a bit of salt, and bake them at 400°F for 35-40 minutes. They turn crunchy on the outside and totally tender on the inside, and they're gorgeous!

    Going to the market - will try baking the sprouts tonight - thanks!

    That is something to try, I will get my mothers recipes and try to make them myself. I don't change the calories when I soak up the grease or drain out the broth :) I am over on my sodium a lolt though so I wonder if me doing this when I eat chicken noodle soup if I am actually under but just don't know it...Soup is my weakness, I love it!!! Pizza is probably a once every two week thing(its hard when you have a fiance who wants it every week)

    I don't like overly greasy things either. I have always blotted pizza, and anything fried. Not fond of oily salad dressings either. Been doing it since I was a kid. I don't try to adjust my calories, I figure it is better to over estimate a bit.

    I prefer to make my own soups and freeze them. Then I can season to my taste and add no extra salt.

    On the sprouts thing...
    I love them as they are, including raw.
    But, if you're not so keen and are in a hurry just slice them a bit and throw them in a dry, hot frying pan. They go crispy, slightly charred if you like them like that. Taste nutty and delicious. Dry frying works for so many veg, and there's no grease. Simple.:tongue:
