I've always been taught frozen or fresh and that canned had to much sodium. Since I have to watch my sodium levels we steam or eat raw as many veggies as possible. That is one thing I've been doing is trying to eat out of the box less. Sometimes it stills happens. With two kids in little league, I have a hard time on game nights eating right. But on those nights I know I have to eat less!

I had a nectarine this morning (which I hadnt had in a while)

I try to eat something fresh everyday. a piece of fruit or a veggie. I can't wait till my veggie garden starts to produce. Once you go fresh you never go back!

Today I ate some zucchini picked fresh out of the garden. I'll also have an apple with peanut butter later. I have my degree in nutrition and during all our class my professors said that canned food lacks the same nutrition as frozen/fresh because the cooking/canning process leaches out some of those nutrients.

I don't eat canned vegetables and the only canned fruit I eat is pineapples (when they aren't in season, or the store doesn't have any good ones; and it's always the ones in their own fruit juice).

the only thing i eat out of a box these days is sugarfree jello... (sometimes i just gotta have something that feels bad..lol) here in hawaii pretty much all the meat and produce at the supermarket are of course shipped in. we make it a point to support or local farmers by going to the farmers market every week. i gotta tell you...there is nothing better than a meal that is completely made up of food that was grown in the ground and caught in the waters around our islands. eating fresh is BEST!!!

Today I picked strawberries from the garden. Ooops forgot to track it! Wonder how many calories are in fresh strawberries!
