Training Tips for Vegetarians
I've been a vegetarian my whole life and think I do an adequate job of incorporating whole grain whole foods into my diet, but I began to wonder if my macro-nutrient breakdown was as balanced as it should be.

I was kinda shocked to find 430 something mg of sodium in my 100 calorie serving of Knudsen cottage cheese. :( I buy the Knudsen because it isn't full of artificial crap (like maltitol and preservatives) the way others are. Plus it's the only one of 2 brands available at my market. Anyone know of a brand in their area that…
