    You can find canned beans that have a highly reduced amount of sodium in them. They cost a little more per can, but well worth it. If you go cheap with the beans, then yes, they're full of sodium.

    Make sure you take the canned beans and rinse them with water. You will rinse off most of the sodium.

    I got a Papa John's veggie pizza today. I thought they made their own sauce.... silly me.... nobody makes their own sauce.... :biggrin_25512: it's all pre-made. And these tomatoe sauces are sweet.... there's sugar in them. BTW, most food in America is cooked with sugar or something sweet.... Even can food, and beans, and soups, etc.... I always read ingredients and if it says sugar, I don't buy it. :biggrin_25513:

    Heading over the road with my husband for the first time next week. I'm a certified personal trainer, former bodybuilder and figure competitor and really concerned about staying in shape on the road We will be bringing our mountain bikes, free weights and plan on hitting every gym we can find! Also, a coleman grill to cook our chicken breasts, turkey breasts and fish. And... a coleman burner to cook our brown rice. We plan on working out everyday, weights in the truck stops if gyms can not be found. :biggrin_25526:

    Try out some kettlebells! They are great and you can do loads of different things with them.
