Not gonna lie, "meatless meat" has always been questionable in my mind.  Not totally against the idea you understand, just... highly skeptical.  The veggies are ok.  Not a big fan of broccoli either but in small amounts it is fine.  Drop a small slice of fish or chicken on that rice to make a donburi bowl out of it and I'd make a meal of it, no problem.

I was too at first. But I've tried several brands & pretty much enjoy all of them. The things I have to watch out for are high fat, sugar, & sodium content on these types of products. But since I plan all my meals, I know how much I can have & just go from there.  

After dinner I wanted a snack. So I got a few leaves of this lettuce that I found at Wal-Mart & put a little light salad dressing in a small container & dipped the leaves in & snacked on them. I think this is going to be something that I keep going because it was enough to satisfy my snack craving without ruining all the effort I'd put in during the day to watch what I ate. 

Now someone might be thinking: Ruth, why are you sharing all this? 

Because I know I'm not the only one in the world who wants to get healthier or lose weight & maybe no one else in AF is doing this but maybe they know someone who is & maybe that person's struggling & could use some helpful tips or advice from someone else who understands how they feel & appreciates how hard they're trying even if they don't know them personally. 

That's why.
