Update

Today I learned about the advantages of Omega eggs, as opposed to regular eggs. Good info from Debbie. This morning I ate eggbeaters with a lot of pepper, and Debbie pointed out that there are some artificial chemicals that she would steer away from. We'll have to try Omega.


From the internet....

Omega-3 eggs are eggs that are produced by hens fed a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial to take into the body since the body doesn't produce them. They are thought to be crucial for overall good health and are said to help prevent cardiovascular disease. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids is thought to lessen the risk of that could dangerously block arteries that connect to the heart.

Do I want to be taking more fat in? How can that be good for the heart. I think no-fat eggs are better. I want to think about lower sugar and lower fat, but fat is needed for health, a certain basic amount. I have heard that the brain needs some level of fat intake to optimally operate.

Tonight's dinner:

Small portion of halibut with lemon
Cole slaw with low fat mayo, slight amount
One medium sized baked potato with Molly Mc Butter

Sunday we cheated and had our Valentines meal at the Confucious Chinese place in Appleton. Moderation is sometimes good! Being too extreme on this stuff will only lead to a backlash.
