[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For buns, only sub I can think of is to bake your own bread. [/b] Quick and easy, IF you have a breadmaker. And with so many going carb free these days, you can probably pick one up free or super cheap

Lunch - leftovers from dinner, or, make big pots of various stew and/or soups over the weekend and take for lunch, or a salad

Snacks - for me it's veggies or fruit

Breakfast - yogurt or cottage cheese[/quote]

So processed is OK as long as we process it ourselves? Including the flour?[/quote]

Read this -- it explains unprocessed, minimally processed, processed, and high or ultra processed foods. The latter are the ones to avoid.

So bread made simply with flour, water, and yeast is processed, but bread can also be ultra processed when nutrients like the germ is removed from the flour, and salt, oil, and chemicals are added to prevent it from going stale. Green beans might be processed by cutting and freezing the beans, but if canned with chemicals, added salt, oil and maybe even sugar then it is ultra processed.[/quote]

The link you provided is clear that canned green beans would be considered processed not ultra processed.[/quote]

Depends on the brand and what else is in the can.[/quote]
