Not exact matches
FMNV is defined generally as foods providing less
than 5 % of the daily value of certain
nutrients and specifically as:
sodas and other carbonated beverages; water ices; chewing gum; and certain types of candy — hard candy, jellies and gums, marshmallows, fondants, licorice, spun candy and candy - coated popcorn.
They had processed high - sugar breakfast cereals (heaven forbid they should actually cook some oatmeal), gallons of fresh milk (because powdered is «icky» and they won't eat it), cheese (that was a luxury we couldn't afford), frozen convenience foods, juice (which is much less healthy
than fruit and expensive relative to
nutrients), and
soda, candy, donuts, cookies, cracker, ice cream and other treats we couldn't possibly afford.
A good rule of thumb when cutting weight; make sure you're getting the recommended daily intake of
nutrients, and burn up more calories
than you're taking in — and no, zero - cal
sodas are not the answer here.
