Food Inglorious Food

 

I was in the grocery store again, ogling the vast varieties and styles of bread. Folks, bread is everywhere in my regular grocery store, stuffed along the aisles and in the middle of the aisles, in the freezer, even sometimes along the edges of some aisles. I must have spent an hour reading the nutrition facts. It’s very confusing because serving sizes are inconsistent: 1 slice, 2 slice etc. It’s hard to get a good comparison. In order to compare apples to apples, I’ve decided to start tracking some of the foods I try in this experience, to try to figure out what works and what doesn’t, what has the lowest sodium, carb, sugar per gram ratio and what tastes like crap and I’ll never try it again, such as Maison Riveria’s Oat Based Vegan Delight Vanilla Yogurt, which is god awful. It’s like it was made by demons in the River Styx. This is 9^th circle of Hell bad. On the other hand, Sigis’ skyr plain yogurt is tasty, creamy and has good carb,

 One big issue for me is snacks, as they are called. Yes, for the moment, I am food obsessed, but I promise I am also thinking about and working on fitness. I walked outside today on a day when I usually veg in front of the tv and snooze for a vast quantity of time. Still did that, by the way. Have you seen Minx?

 Anyway, here’s the Google sheet, Food Inglorious Food, which you can view to see my ratings of bread, yogurt, oatmeal and more as they develop. I haven’t included every bit of nutritional info, just the stuff that seems of particular relevance for diabetes. If there are other things I’m supposed to add over time. I will. I like constant improvement rather than aiming for perfection right away. I love spreadsheets. Charles has helped me with the formula, as he does. He is also a spreadsheet nerd. This information will help me to discuss my diet with my dietician.
