As Jeff and I are still working on our eating out 2 week challenge (which has been extended until Thursday because of some outside interference) I went to Trader Joe’s the other day with Liz to get a lunch. I wasn’t really in the mood for any of their salads, and I was sick of sandwiches, so I looked at the Middle East Feast. With falafel, hummus, and pita, you can’t really go wrong. Since I’ve been watching my sodium intake right there with Jeff, I decided to check the sodium content.<\/p>\n

I got a salad that day, and it tasted just fine.\u00a0 This challenge has really got me paying attention. If I hadn’t even noticed how bad something was for me that HAD the nutritional values, imagine how bad things are when I eat out and have no idea! The prospect of eating what I think is “healthy” and having it be 75% of my daily value of fat makes me feel unwashed.<\/p>\n
