Wellness #39: Nutrition

I do try to eat healthy most days. A few years ago I lost 35 pounds. Since then I've kept it off by not "dieting" but trying to make permanent healthy food choices. I really liked the Nutrion Data sight. If it was available a few years ago, it probably would have made my weight loss easier! I really liked how you could find the nutritional information to a huge range of foods-even name brand foods and takeout. The takeout part was really helpful because sometimes you have to pick up something fast or on the road (chick fil a seems to be the way to go, there isn't too much sugar in the sauces like in other places). It can really help you make smart choices. Or at least you don't have the excuse that you don't know what the real calories are anymore.

For recipe sparkles, I put in a simple recipe for quesadillas
1 flour tortilla
shredded cheddar
salsa
onion

I ended up with 207.9 calories & 2.3 grams of fat.
