Those pre-made frozen meals are laden with salt. What do I do?

Nope, I am never am hungry. I pretty much have one meal and a snack per a day. I used to eat more when I was little probably because I wasn’t taking as many medications.

I only eat one meal a day as a general rule, as long as you're weight is in the normal range don't let it get to you just be careful what you eat

My loving and supporting wife of 35 years as well as our 25 & 29 year old daughters are great cooks. I was a great cook until I started to take non-epileptic seizures at the age of 52. I let them cook 99% of the time now because they cook great tasting meals. Our daughters learned their great cooking ability from their mom. Our youngest has a lot of food allergies and the meals she cooks are wonderful.
