Sugar has many names

Sugar is in everything now days. You can find it in pizza, salad dressing, crackers, bread, Soups etc.  
In 2009, the American Heart Association released a statement on how much sugar to eat (rest assured, a little bit of sugar is OK.)
 Most women should eat, or drink, no more than 100 calories per day from added sugar, about 6 teaspoons. For men the cutoff is 150 calories from added sugars, or about 9 teaspoons. As a point of reference, a 12-ounce can of cola contains approximately 130 calories or about 8 teaspoons of added sugar.  This  only applies to sugars that are added to food by consumers or added during manufacturing (that means the sugar added to your crackers, cereal and other packaged foods counts). The naturally occurring sugar in fruit, vegetables, whole grains and dairy doesn’t count.  

I hope it makes you evaluate your sugar intake as a whole. Men should only be getting around 36 grams and women about 24 grams of sugar total per day.

Turkey Meat Loaf

Body Beast  Turkey Meatloaf I got this recipe from the Body Beast Workout Program.  I didn't have high hopes.  It surprised us.  This is our favorite meatloaf recipe now.  With turkey low in saturated fat it's also good for you and cheaper then beef right now.  I wanted to keep eating this and skip all the veggies at dinner.  You won't be disappointed.
Ingredients: 2 pounds of lean ground turkey meat 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (I used panko) 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped ground black pepper to taste  1 cup of all-natural mild or medium salsa 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon sea salt fresh chopped parsley(optional, garnish)
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375° F. Combine the ground turkey, salsa, whole wheat bread crumbs, eggs, garlic, sea salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Form into the shape of a loaf and place in a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan. Bake on the center rake of the oven for 60-70 minutes until no longer pink in the middle. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into 8 equal pieces.  This can be cooked in a crock pot for four hours on low.
