Questions du jour

Everything says I'm supposed to eat almonds...but whoa...all that fat! Am I really?  (because I could totally eat a bunch of almonds...so I'm skeptical about a healthy food I like). 

I'm also seeing lots of things saying to eat dried fruit, but have you seen the sugar and carbs in dried cranberries (my favorite salad topping)?

If I get my triglycerides under control by cutting way back on my desserts, do I have to watch sugar as much?  Or is my focus now that LDL (which, incidentally, I found out that dark chocolate is supposed to reduce LDL...does it really?  Where can I get it?)

BREAKFAST TODAY

small bowl of Special K along with a Yoplait Fat-Free apple yogurt

AM SNACK

Apple

LUNCH TODAY

1/2 a subway sandwich (Italian on wheat, with lettuce and cucumbers), water, pineapple yogurt

Incidentally, I also worked out for 15 minutes (before lunch), and it's now been about 15 minutes since I finished lunch, and I am STILL hungry!!  >:-|
