Food list

I believe it does carry hydrogenated oils. It's best to stay away from foods that contain that. Feel free to look up hydrogenated oils for those of you interested.

GOOGLE!

Anyone has any though of Sardine...

I currently bought a ton of Millionaire Sardine in Sunflower Oil.

Here's the facts about it :

124g/can

Per 100g serving :
Cal 190
Fat 11
-- Saturated 2g
-- + Trans 0.1
Polyunsaturated 5g
Monounsaturated 3g
-- Omega-3 2.5g
-- Omega-6 2.0g

Cholesterol 40mg
Sodium 170mg
Protein 24g

And it cost between 1$-2$ CAN

Looks awesome for the EFA content and protein content...
Anybody has an opinion about that???

[NiteHawk]

My opinion...Yuck! I wouldnt eat sardines, nasty to me. I'll stick with my Fish Oil capsules. The smell of tuna is strong enough to me.

Yeah, it has it in it, as well as every peanut butter besides natural. It doesn't taste quite the same but its still good, and MUCH better for you!

Hehe, okay let's say beside the taste , I love the taste as for now...
But is it too much of fat content in that 11g??? altho about 5g is from EFA.

Also 40mg of cholest seems a bit high...

But is there any other problem with this fish on a nutritional side.

I was wondering the same thing. Except I was wondering of the smoked oysters in cottonseed oil.


What seems odd to me is the sardines have a much lower sodium than the oysters. The Oysters have 340mg. fat 9g, cholest. 55mg, carbs 10, Protein 12g.

The stickies can answer about 90% of one's questions. The other 10% is probably the person splitting hairs or you not using Google.

An alternative I used to mayo when making tuna or chicken salad was no fat soy mayo. The brand I used was Nasoya. It had a funky texture if you just put it on, say, a turkey sandwich, but mixed in with tuna or shredded chicken, you could NOT taste the difference and there was no texture issue. It contains very few calories, no sacrifice on the taste when used in a salad type mixture and zero fat. And by the way, I do not like soy products and very few fat-free products are appealing to me - but this was one option for me that was great all the way around.

Robyn, Kraft makes a fat free real mayo dressing, not soy. It has 0 fat and only 2 carbs per serving. You might try this instead.

Smart Balance's Mayo is pretty good too. I like a lot of their products

I tried the miracle whip no fat stuff today, mixed it in some tuna salad. I didn't have a sandwich but I tried a couple bites of the salad, it was pretty good! Especially for something that was no fat!

Sorry if this was already answered,

So i'm confused, should i eat carbs immiedietly after workouts?

and if yes, would white bread/bananas be good?
