nutritional value lettuce

Just to help prevent this next time, all iceberg lettuce is "bad." It has absolutely no nutritional value. Switch to Romaine and Green Leaf, or even better, a spring mix or something like it that has dandelion greens, parsley, watercress, and the like, which are chock full of minerals and good nutrition. That will save you from the fact that iceberg does go bad more quickly in spots than other lettuces. (From an old produce manager).

You should be getting most of your 20grams of carbs from green veg, things like brocolli are ideal. There is little nutritional value in lettuce, so do try to include other things when you are having a salad, how about peppers, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers etc. There is a great forum at http://www.minimins.com/atkins-diet/ if you want to chat to people about your meal plans who understand this diet.

If you do salads, use spinach or romaine lettuce...ice burg lettuce really has no nutritional value to it. All veggies are good...just ear what you like. Don't force yourself to eat a veggy that is going to make you gag. For breakfast a scrambled egg or 2 with some fruit or whole grain toast is goid. Avoid a lot of breakfast meats (bacon sausage etc) as they have a lot of nitrates in them.

I was wondering at what to put the nutritional value of food over the amount of calories they contain. For example, I regulate my calories fairly closely and usually am always well under the daily recommended amount, but there are some days that I feel like I am hungry all day. As a general rule, I enjoy eating raw mixed nuts as a snack, but they tend to be high in calories.

Juice covers a lot -- virtually anything can be juiced if you're doing this yourself. Fruit juices contain a lot of sugar, but can also be powerful antioxidants, but vegetable juices can be very valuable. Wheatgrass juice is great. So this depends on what you mean by nutritional juices. Most important, avoid anything that's not organic. When you juice anything, you use a lot of it, and that enhances the amount of harmful chemicals that exist on whatever you're juicing.

You might want to hit the lights and check, because for the first time ever, the FDA is allowing fresh spinach and iceberg lettuce to be zapped with radiation in order to kill bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella. Puts a whole new spin on "nuking" your food, doesn't it? The goal, as with most wrongheaded ideas, is to "protect" consumers. And as usual, the FDA has chosen incorrectly. Are you surprised?

I do the same as you, except that when hubby gets home I turn the stove back on to reheat it instead of microwave. I believe that even if it loses a little bit of the nutritional value, it's still healthier and cheaper than ordering or eating out.

So I started this diet I saw in the internet mainly fruit and veggie but I have a problem I dont eat any kind of vegg exept for lettuce im drinking 8 glasses of water and more fruit when my body ask me for food and its working on sunday I had 179.6 pounds today I weight my self and I was 175.4 but thos morning I cheat I eat a bagel w cream cheese and drank coffee so let see tomorrow ill keep it light for the rest of the day.

I think if you freeze it, you would take away from the nutritional value. You could get the same nutritional value from eating bean sprouts on a salad. Would be easier for you.

Sorry to hear about your treatment not being effective.are you going to be treating again with the new DAA"s that are going to be coming out soon? There are many elixir"s and supplements people are taking for nutritional value and some it seems have value in regards to keeping liver counts (enzyme )readings lower. If the Hepa feels their is no harm ,and markers don"t rise..then yes nothing to lose Keep us informed and good luck.. Will.

re talking dark and green (iceberg lettuce, for example, is mostly water and is of little nutritive value), so choose your leaves carefully. Spinach has 3.2 mg of iron and 130 mcg of folic acid per 1/2 cup.

I am curious if I am still getting the same nutritional value from the uncooked oats as if I were cooking them?

Generally, you should try to eat things that have varied nutritional value and things considered 'healthy' but some cheesecake here and there doesn't hurt.

My dog likes apples. I give her about a 1/4 apple, cut into tiny pieces as treats. At apple time, she often picks her own from the low branches of the trees in the orchard! So I make sure she doesn't get any apple seeds too because they are toxic. Grapes are definitely toxic for dogs. NO grapes! Raisins are the same, ditto sultanas, currants, etc. I've heard of dogs who like bananas, but mine doesn't. Corn....

You can eat them but you have to eat some thing else with them because they have NO nutritional value for you or baby.

I hate to be like this but most of the items (if not all) the items listed consist of total unhealthy junk food with zero nutritional value. It is clear the person put a lot of time and research into the list but I am just saying.

Beer has some nutritional value also.

Spicy is good but Cheetos are kind of like processed junk food. :>) I would try to limit that and go for more healthy options or something with more nutritional value for you and baby. Doesn't mean you can't have some spicy hot Cheetos from time to time though.

Thanks. .

My doctor told me that you don't really have to worry about nutritional value at this point. I had a sweet tooth until 9 weeks.

I usually go to the US Dept. of Agriculture to find nutrition amounts for various foods. For some reason they're not listing various lettuce types. I tried basic "lettuce" and found that 1 cup of cooked lettuce (yuck) has 19.4 mg of vit K. Any other idea how I might search for radicchio? Is it related to something else I could search?
