[Potatogirl]

Will try the butternut squash tips lurverick -thanks.

My speedy foods today were

-Apple
-Pepper
-Pear
-Lettuce
-Oranges
A bit boring for me today but didn't plan my ss and S intake really well!!

Dunno about you guys but noticed that lemon/lemon juice is a ss. I know folks put it on salad but I put this in diet cola and it dramatically improves the taste - particularly the cheap caffeine free stuff. Plus you can stick loads in. I used the bottled stuff - was so thrilled it's a ss!!

Today have had .....
melon
apple
raspberries
satsumas
plums
tinned toms
celery

not very many for me am not very well stocked up!

I think this is where I fall down with my daily food diary I never even think about ss or s so I'm going to search out what they are ( oh dear just shows how bad I am cos I'm not even sure what's on the list)
And will start logging it later today

Talking in group one day we were discussing tinned fruit-synned and our consultant said treat pre-cut fruit like the melon n pineapple available (tesco,sainsburys etc) with caution.thats sometimes the companies add things to preserve them,anyone else know if there's any truth in this???

Mmm. I know what you mean. I tend to buy everything fresh and prepare it myself becasue it's so much cheaper - but it's a good point. I have my shopping delivered so have just quickly looked on Tesco's website and the ingredient info is missing on quite a lot of prepared fruit. I was only able to find one melon prepared selection that said it was 100% melon.

I could understand the companies needing to preserve this type of thing to extend the shelf life but whenever I've seen these items they have a mega short lifespan anyway. I'd guess that any preservative would be low calorie/cal free. Not great if you're trying to eat fruit near it's natural state though eh?

I eat a huge quantity of my fruit as prepared stuff, it hasn't harmed me and the nutrition info is on all of asdas.
