Calories were a lil high.

b- ham sandwich
l - an eggplant, ( my eggplant pizza)

s- two of those little bitty, used to be a nickel , pieces of chocolate in tinfoil.
Yumm. then later on, ice cream.

My calories were extremely low. It was an extremely busy day.
exercise - almost 2 hours of hooping, cleaning and some light weights.

I have wanted to post this for a while.. but was not sure how well received it would be.

Many people, including myself, have fallen for the propaganda that soy is healthy, good , and a staple food of Asian countries.

Soy.. is toxic. Soy is dangerous, and soy is being directly linked to cancers in females.. breast, uterine.. AND loss of calcium, something we have to battle naturally anyway.

Problem with this is, you will not see this in OUR news.
But, if you look outside of america, COUNTRIES are banning soy products, soy sauces and putting warning lables on tofu.

I have removed everything in my home that has soy. Soybeanoil is used in many things, including common bread brands and shopping to avoid it is a it of a task.. but not impossible.

Shewolf, what about edamame?

...on my way to read the link, which may address the edamame question...

I swear, your food lists cause me to salivate...

I've known about some of these connections with soy and posted on them in the past.

On the soy and breast cancer thing, my breast cancer surgeon (well regarded nationally) told me that much of the caution was related to people heavily using - I forget the exact term - soy powder supplements, and that soy in moderation would be ok for me. Of course, this was in 2001, there may be new info.
I have tofu something like four times a year, and buy a quart of soy milk maybe six times a year. Use soy sauce maybe another six times. All well within the range of her 'ok'.

I'd have to look it up but I seem to remember that high soy was problematic for women whose bc's were estrogen receptor positive. Mine was neg, but too small a sample to be 100% sure of negativity.

I started a thread about the soy and testosterone thing, will have to check it since I don't remember the details.

I'm just sayin' - I don't think the near universe of folks ingesting some soy are in deep doo doo, but will check your links, shewolf.

Forgot -

yesterday's ingestion:

2.5 cups of coffee, 1 total tsp sugar
(I'm working my way to three measured cups, per the news re coffee and dementia, which I'm in line for)

last packet of apple raisin torte from the freezer

2 o.p. cookies

tomato chicken farfalle soup, 1 bowl

cherry apple drink, much diluted

two slice of bread sandwich: toasted california sourdough/mayo/dill pickle slices/warmed turkey-pork-pesto meatloaf (ugh re the meatloaf, last try for the ground turkey thing)

pellegrino

2 ital glasses red wine.
Ital glasses - apparently the french and italians in some instances like drinking wine not from stemmed glassware, but small orange juice sized glasses, sort of like small jelly glasses. I collect them when I see them in thrift shops over the years. Or maybe I'm making that up, in memory, and they're just small juice glasses.

jespah - how do you know the exact carb and sodium content of your food?
Do you have a special scale for that?

I track them online -- www.sparkpeople.com -- all I do is make sure I get the serving sizes right and plug in the #s.
