The Nutrition of Pea Crisps

 Next 

week I will share updated progress pictures. Since our scale is defunct (thank you, children) I am hoping to compare photos and see some progress.

I do feel a lot better, less tired and less tense despite the loads of stress this week and an infant who has kept us up. 

This will be a short blog because it is late, but I wanted to share that upon looking up the nutrition info for Pea Crisps—a fun snack for munching—I learned a thing.

Food density. 

The article I was reading said that pea crisps have some good protein content but the problem with processed food is that it is dehydrated. Pea crisps are very light and will not fill you up.

Consequently, you might accidentally eat the whole bag. 

When I am very stressed, I am prone to mindless eating. 

Today in the midst of trying to clean house and watch the kids while my husband was working on a project, I started to reach for those pea crisps and remembered that concept of food density...

Instead, I ate a banana. It was not super tasty (still don’t have my sense of taste and smell back from Covid), but it prevented me from eating all the things out of stress. 

I had some failure this week in being healthy: I’m not drinking enough water. How do you drink enough water/avoid getting dehydrated?

Let me know!
