I was doing a quick re-evaluation of my cutting diet today and decided that really the only questionable item are the veggie slices. I am currently eating two slices a day at lunch. Here is the nutrional information for one slice:

Any thoughts? They're darn tasty, and a good way to keep my lunch calories where I want them to be, but I just want to make sure that they're not inhibting my fat loss goals.

Thanks!

Any thoughts? They're darn tasty, and a good way to keep my lunch calories where I want them to be, but I just want to make sure that they're not inhibting my fat loss goals. They're a bit salty (520mg for 2 slices, yikes!) but otherwise look OK.

If you can find 80 calories that's slowing your fat loss, I'd like to meet them :)

I didn't necessarily think that 80 calories would make me fat, but I just want to make sure that I'm not eating anything junky on a daily basis.

Yeah, they've got a lot of sodium unfortunately. That seems to be the one portion of my diet that I can't get down to a respectable level. Oh well, at least I drink a ton of water!

Thanks.

Water definetly helps reduce sodium's adverse effects. Look for Jeremy's post about the sodium/potassium link. ("The skinny on salt" at bodybuilding.com). The general idea is that balancing potassium and sodium is key. Raising your potasssium would probably be better than cutting sodium.

Unfortunately, just about nobody puts potassium on their labels :mad:

Yeah, that really frustrates me too. I've started paying more attention to juice, since some juice labels list potassium and others don't.
