May 6, 2015 at 23:43 comment added Ready To Learn Supposedly nitrate-free bacon that has celery powder or sea salt isn't nitrate free. The manufacturers are just playing a shell game with you. Feed nitrate water to celery. Cut down celery. Extract nitrates. "Celery powder"!
May 16, 2011 at 18:28 comment added Bill Clark I eat a lot of vegetarian products now, but for health reasons rather than ethical concerns. I'd steer clear of the fake bacon (it is universally terrible, in my opinion) but fake meatballs work great for meatball sandwiches or spaghetti, fake ground beef (or "crumbles" as they're sometimes called) goes well in pasta sauce, chili, or tacos, and I greatly prefer Morningstar brand veggie sausage patties to the real thing. There's a huge amount of variation in tastes and textures between different brands, so it's definitely worth experimenting.

May 16, 2011 at 18:03 comment added Ross Johnston Thanks! Great comments from both you and Brian. I agree just eggs and bacon and heavy on the fat and protein, but light on carbohydrate, fiber and nutrients. Adding fruit is an easy step, so that would be good. And mixing it up from day-to-day would be good too I think - maybe oatmeal some days too. And I'll look into the vegetarian substitutes too. Thanks.
