My friend, who is a true Southern cook (reformed), introduced me to smoked turkey legs as a protein for soups and beans. It doesn’t have the high sodium content that you get with ham, but the smoked turkey gives you a lot of flavor. I also add fresh spinach to anything and everything. I’m not a fan of a lot of the green, leafy vegetables, so I think that this is enriching my C, A, K and E intake. I have to do gluten free due to celiac and wish I got extra points that resulted in weight loss for the foods I give up.
Fruit. Green veggies. I’m trying to eat more of this and give up sugar. I avoid aspartame.
I have cut back significantly on Chardonnay which lately gives me a dull headache so it’s lost it’s appeal significantly anyway. Retirement helped significantly in my need to consume liquid fortification. Whew!
I did read this …has some interesting information.

@pmm Interesting study! Fresh fruit and wheat bread! I have been told with my kidney disease, to limit wheat bread, but I eat little of it anyway. No white bread except sourdough, which gives me a great taste. Since last September I have lost and kept off 12 pounds. which was already after a 20 pound weight loss. Once in a great while I have an ounce of wine, sipping it slowly. For fresh fruit, my go to is an apple. Recently due to low potassium levels, I was allowed to add bananas and oranges back to my diet, in addition to taking a potassium supplement. For me, it is a big project balancing my myeloma with my kidney issues, and getting the correct amounts of everything.
A couple of month's ago I bought a package of smoked turkey necks at the store, and really liked the taste of them in a soup! I will look for smoked turkey legs next time. Thanks for that idea.
