Wellness #39: Nutrition

I don't know how much I will actually use the NutritionData.com website. I really liked the unit conversion on the website and I might use it for that purpose. I put my lunch into the nutrition counter and came back all depressed. Although I don't think it is quite as high in cholesterol as the site claims (I'm not having as much corn pudding as I told the site I was.) it was still way too depressing for my taste! And of course it had to remind me about the amount of sugar in my small orange. Is anything safe to eat nowadays besides air?

For the Recipes.Sparkspeople.com website, I found a Chicken casserole recipe similar to a recipe I grew up with but no longer make (so now I don't have to feel quite so guilty). I found the Sodium content to be quite high but the recipe I used as a child contained salsa and chili peppers insead of Chicken Broth, Cream of Mushroom Soup and Velveeta. I think the one I ate as a child was healthier. The recipe I chose contained:

Chicken Breast, no skin, 30 ounces (remove)
Cream of Mushroom Soup, 1 can (10.75 oz) (remove)
Cream of Chicken Soup, 1 can (10.75 oz) (remove)
Canned Tomatoes, 1 can (remove)
*Velveeta Cheese Product, 16 oz (remove)
Swanson Chicken Broth 99% Fat Free, .5 cup (remove)
Cheddar Cheese, 8 oz (remove)
Corn Chips, 16 oz (remove)
