Thanks for all the great info Debbie! I have never understood the latest "soy" craze, I have no idea if it's legit or just hype. Also, I am constantly having the metabolism discussion with my husband. He is losing weight with lots of exercise and eating a fraction of what he used to, while I am the type to nibble all day or else I start feeling sick. He thinks it's mental. I think we just have diffferent metabolisms, but I have no proof other than practical experience. I am planning to educate myself on sports nutrition so I can at least have some empirical arguing ammo.
BTW, I read recently that a handful of raisins has about 40 gm of carbs and no fat. My favorite brand is Pavich organic. They're really big and never "over dried".
