Hi Jericho,

>>"I still steer away from fat, should I be so fat-conscious?"

No, you shouldn't be so fat conscious. I suggest checking the 'media/research' forum for reasons why not. There's nothing wrong with ingesting fat. Fat was only labelled 'bad' because it contains the most calories per gram. The logic? You can eat more grams of other stuff and get less calories. Too bad it doesn't pan out in reality: you need *some* fat - it fills you up, helps keep the bowels... happy and there are essential fatty acids that the low-fat gurus like to ignore.

Eggs get two thumbs up. They're cheap, they're easy to prepare, they're a good source of protein, and have lots o' vitamins. There are only 5 g of fat in an egg. (But we're not worried about fat anymore, remember? )

You're right about the fiber in the veggie burgers. That's another reason I like TVP. Mmmm, mmm, mmm. That's a tasty burger! Good lunch: just don't neglect your veggies. Mum was right on that one.
