***HEALTH ALERT***

So I'm about to make my sandwiches for work and had an apiffany...Last night I was buying some pizzas for the freezer and of course I like to see what type of dough is used and what not. Ok so I started comparing the pizzas and when I picked up a box of pepperoni there was 1000mg for 1/3 the pie. OMG! Compared to a plain that was 440MG 1/3 that was a lot!

So like I said I was about to make a roast beef/colby jack/lettuce/baby swiss and 3 slices of salami sandwiches. Two of them. Without even doing the math in my head I put the colby jack and salami back in the fridge. How much sodium does an organic wheat loaf have? Well 1/8th has 240mg of sodium (2 slices). Ok so how much sodium is in two sandwiches, one slice of roast beef per sandwich, one slice of Baby Swiss cheese, olive-oil mayo and mustard with lettuce. 1610mg of sodium! My two TV dinners had 920mg of sodium and filled me up more than those sandwiches would have. So now I'm back where I started from...I think I'm gonna have to do it folks. I think I'm going to have to (GAWD HELP ME)....COOK!

So I'm gonna back off the sandwiches for a while and figure out where I can get me health carbs, and still have simple ingredients. Rice! Rice might come back to my life. Brown rice (cuz the white shit is plain rubbish!) So if I cook the rice, maybe I can use a sauce that isn't plastered with flour or corn starch. Hmmmm....I see me makin a rice chicken alfredo! Oh yeah! I can do that...grill some chicken, steam a bit of brocolli while nuke'n some alfredo sauce. Yeah...tha shit sounds delish! YUM!
