I was just looking at the list of foods that are recommended to me, and for some of the values of fats/proteins, there is 'tr'. I can't seem to find out what this means. If you could let me know what this means and how this affects my eating plan/goals, I would much appreciate it. Thanx, Ange:)

If you're counting grams of protien, fat or carbs and it says trace, just equate that to zero. Hope this clears things up for you...and believe me, it's not the stupidest question ever! -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
