Hi Julie -
There's no definitive amount for "too much" fiber but since everyone's digestive system is different, it's best to increase your intake gradually. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Marie -
French lentils are slightly smaller and firmer - they may take a little longer to cook but they're delicious. Check the package directions for appropriate cooking times.

Hi Macmkaz -
Thanks for your question. We checked out the ingredient list on the Fiber Plus bars and found they contained processed ingredients including sweeteners and hydrogenated oils (the bars that made our top picks did not). Stay tuned for an upcoming article on fiber and fiber products coming soon!

Hi Eljay -
The nutrition information is per serving - some of the brands have two bars in a serving (Nature Valley and Cascadian Farms), others have just one.

Hi Charlotte --
Great question! When using a brine, a percentage of the salt and sugar does permeate the meat which is why it helps tenderize, add flavor and keep the meat moist. Exactly how much depends on the particular recipe. For this roasted turkey, it only totals a few tablespoons of salt and teaspoons of sugar, which adds virtually no calories and a moderate amount of sodium per serving.

Hi Aquamarine -
Thanks for your comment. It's very true that there can be a wide range of possible calorie counts for a dish like grilled cheese. We carefully check and analyze numerous recipes, restaurant menus and other documented calorie and fat information for the nutrition info in our articles. Since many grilled cheese recipes call for numerous slices or large chunks of cheese along with tablespoons of butter, the calories can easily top 700 calories per serving.

Hi Meg -
Most sodas sweetened with sugar have about 150 to 200 calories in a 20-ounce bottle. Diet sodas are sweetened with artificial sweeteners, so they're calorie-free, but since these types of sweeteners are chemicals they are best consumed in moderation. That said, there's nothing wrong with a diet soda on occasion if you're watching your calorie intake.
