Accountability .. What did you eat Thursday!?

Hey Anita - What is TVP?  I know you probably don't have a Whole Foods near you, but you should try the 365 Organic Turkey Jerky from Whole Foods.  It's yummy, filling, and I don't know how they do it, but it has no fat and 11g of protein.  I'm hooked! Did your daughter start working at Wegman's yet?  I was in Baltimore on Monday and Tuesday for my 6 week Restore follow-up endoscopy, and treated myself to a visit to Wegman's.  Since I was flying, I couldn't really bring anything home with me though.  I'd be awfully tempted to drive to Woodbridge (about 3 hours) once they open.  Betsy

TVP...textured veggie protein...It's like tofu only it's freeze dried pieces parts that you hydrate with broth or some flavoring and water and it's more like a ground meat when added to stuff like chili or thick soups or any rice or bean dish really.  It's crunchy and has little flavor so you can add it as a topping on desserts too or on yogurt or pudding or in cereals for extra protein.  It quite handy to have in the house...I was out and the store here stopped carrying it...So my last visit to Wegman's I loaded up!   Yes! My daughter did start working at Wegmans...She's training right in the Chef's Case now all the way out in Fairfax (an hour drive from here) Til the WDBG store opens. You should let me know next time you are driving up this way and I'll meet you or come over for lunch or something!  We can go spend a few hours at Wegmans! LOL  The store should be open at the end of June.  I can't wait! There is a Whole Foods near the Fairfax Wegmans, and I have not been in there in a long time. But now that you mention turkey jerky...I found Low Fat turkey Pepperoni by Hormel...(17 slices is a serving)  It's really good!  70 calories/4 fat/ 9 protein...no carbs or sugar  (It just makes me thirsty though and waiting 30 minutes to drink makes me INSANE! So I usually eat a fruit after to get rid of the salty spicy flavor til I can drink.! 

I'll have to check out the turkey pepperoni.  The difference with the turkey jerky is the sodium is pretty low - 270 mg, and it doesn't make me so thirsty that I can't wait a while to drink, especially if I'm water-loading like I should be.  I'll definitely give you a hollar the next time I'm headed back up that way so we can get together.
