Haven't there always been build your own pizzas on the menus? I remember that option since I was a kid. My family usually got pepperoni, olives, mushrooms and then anchovies on half.

I've probably done it with plums too. My great aunt had a mini orchard and she'd bring us boxes of plums and apricots that were just perfect ripe. My mom let us eat as much as we wanted so they didn't spoil. Mmmm.

Lol. I've overeaten fruit a few times, especially apricots and avocados. My mom and brother have too.

I've made the Mexican kind many times.

The salsa verde I know is Mexican. What's the difference with the Italian?

I like to add avocado if I have enough calories. And soy sauce if I have enough sodium left.

Not all has sweetener.

Steel cut oats are a different texture than rolled oats.

It's the same part of your brain that reacts to cuddling your pets.

I do. But I'm more worried about sodium than calories.

40 mg per serving.

And you felt the need to share this, why? Steel cut oats are great in savory meals. There is a frozen meal I sometimes buy that is steel cut oats, cheese, and mushrooms. It's so good.

If you get plain Greek yogurt is it any higher in sugar? And no salt added cottage cheese isn't very high in sodium. I keep both on hand and eat what I feel like.

Rice. Eggs with gooey yolks are good over rice.

The gaps diet has no studies. Not even a case paper. It also is extremely restrictive and can cause nutritional deficiencies. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/gaps-diet/

What if you have medical reasons for limiting protein and fats? I've lost weight while eating a carb heavy diet.

Eating out you just have to estimate or hope the counts from the restaurant are accurate. At home I weigh most things, and a few I measure with cups and spoons. I measure salt containing herb blends, but other spices I don't worry about, I need to watch sodium for medical reasons.

I agree, call your doctor.

This. Stimulants have been the main treatment since the 1990's.

I agree with everything but the low carb unless there are medical reasons for it. There can be medical reasons to eat high carb too.

If you actually cook the steak in it, then it will use more. I usually eyeball what is left in the container and estimate though. I track mainly for sodium content, though.

I have food allergies. I read every label. There is no reason to ban things because some might react. There already are labeling laws that the most common allergens need to be listed in bold. And it may be in a lot- but it hasn't been in anything I ate today, which included small servings of chips and candy.

The flavored pouches of tuna are good. If you are watching sodium, the bumble bee brand are better.

The spike in insulin levels is only a worry if you have insulin related issues. Sugary fruits can do the same thing. The fat thing? No. As long as you are eating at or under your calorie needs your body won't store fat.

What's wrong with carbs? Your body processes them like any other calorie unless you have certain medical issues.

Expecting a government to worry about every allergy or intolerance out there is impossible and somewhat unrealistic. It could be nice in some situations like air travel, but the vast majority of day to day life, no.

But why should it bother people who don't have a medical issue with soy. I'm allergic to dogs and apples. I don't claim that they are bad for everyone, just bad for me. Apples are in a lot of things as a sweetener. I do get angry at people who bring their dogs everywhere and lie that they are service dogs, but that doesn't…

Can you freeze individual servings? I've done it all the time. And when I was in grad school, I ate very similar dishes.

Sometimes it's put on the package because it's an allergen and the tea or an ingredient was processed in a plant near where soy was processed.
