I also need how to learn how to read labels. I eat alot of those lean cruisines for my protein gain..I also make alot of homemade burgers ona griddle. I've assumed those are healthy all this time and a big source of protein... but I can't say I surely know.

Cheezy - pay close attention to serving size. I used to look at just the calories and think: Hmmm, that's not so bad. Then sit down and eat the whole she-bang. But after diabetes set in, the nutritionist taught me that it's the number of servings to watch. It might say 100 calories per serving and sound good...but there could be 8 servings in one container. Kind of like Ebay...buy a laptop computer for 100 bucks and then spend 400 for shipping and handling charges.
Remember the hydrogenated oils. If it says hydrogenated anywhere on the packet, don't eat it.
Lean beef really is good for you. Use extra-virgin olive oil in your cooking, those are good fats that your body needs to keep things well-oiled and to manufacture testosterone. But the cheap burger in the plastic tubes that drip fat when they're on the grill can be deadly.
In one of the articles I read, they suggest frying it to remove the grease. Drain it. And then they said if you really don't want to take a chance with that hard fat...rinse it with hot water and squeeze out the excess water. I tried that, but it removes the flavor too. So now I just buy extra-lean ground beef. It costs more, but it's better for you. Try ground turkey, too. You might like it. I don't.
Pastor also taught me to stay away from shell fish and to study up on the foods that are right for a Christian to eat. A good point, as I didn't know that many foods were bad for us.
It's good to grow!
Physically, mentally, spiritually.
(ground turkey?
