CONDIMENTS: SUCH AS: Sugar free Ketchup, and fat free Mayo?

 will be two weeks out on tuesday and I get to have canned tuna and I would like to put fat free mayo in it to make it more moist, Is this possiable?

I am going to call the nut, but i wanted to know what you all did at this stage, And I would like to know about all condiments, I know we cant have any sugar or fat, but Iknow they can be bought in surgar free, and fat free, also seasonings like sloppy joe mix or pot roast mix, or chili mix, any of your mccormack package stuff to season, 

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much, Kristy

Fat free mayo was fine by my plan.. there are SF ketchups and other condiments available online, and salsa is always a great option too!  If you use a lot of pre-packaged seasoning mixes you might be loading up on salt, so it might be good to pay attention to that too.  I used (and still do) avocado mashed up to moisten tuna or chicken - add a little lime.  Yummy.  Light salad dressings are also good, bu****ch the sugar.  Most FAT FREE salad dressings have a lot of sugar.  Have fun experimenting! 

Dunny, I never thought of mashing up avocados in tuna.  That sounds really tasty!  Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to buy an avocado tomorrow. If you like chicken salad and are a Costco member, we bought some of their rotisserie chicken salad this weekend and it was outstanding!  I normally hate chicken salad, but this had a lot of flavor and was quite sustaining.  It didn't have that mayo-y taste that most chicken salads have.

When I moved to purees I sort of lived on avocado because nothing else seemed edible, and then when I moved to soft foods I kept the avocado going for a while.  Now I am trying to limit a little more as other things agree with me (tom yum soup is my new lower calorie go-to guy).  Avocado is so super tasty and good for you, but it throws off all the calorieking numbers with calories and fat. I hate it when my calorieking numbers get out of whack.  And its so cheap here, a lot of farms in South Texas.  And its soothing in the pouch.  And it makes my skin look good.  And its good fats that lower your cholesterol.  And... I could expound on avocado all day long.  Yep avocado is basically my favorite food.  It outranks chocolate. 

Kristy, I mixed my tuna in cottage cheese to give it an extra protein boost.  I loathe fat-free mayo or Miracle Whip! The prepackaged McCormick things have too much sodium for me.  I don't know about the spices at such an early stage, I stuck pretty close to bland foods at first.  One carb ketchup is a lifesaver for me now, I dump on real ketchup because I love ketchup and use a lot of it. Do you think you're ready for chili already?  You must be tougher than me! Kix

No I am not ready for chili, I was wondering for the future, I have never even been a real chili girl but I am getting 87 grams of protein now from my shakes but it is important for me to get it in when I start food, I just know I cant drink when I eat, so I would like things moist if possiable, and the thought of eating even one baby sppon of tuna out of the can seems so dry thinking, I just want to do everything right.   And dunny thanks for the avocodo tip, GREAT!  Also Kix for the cottage cheese tip, you ladys are great.   Kristy

I made a really tasty pot of chili a few weeks ago and froze portions of it.  I've had it a few times since.  It was too spicy for my husband, but it doesn't upset my pouch.  I was raised with some serious spiciness and my tummy seems happier staying that way!  I mixed ground turkey with lean ground beef, added tons of veggies (potato, sweet potato, carrot, tomato puree, roasted green chile, jalepenos, corn, canneloni beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, onion, garlic) and chile powder, cayenne powder, chipotle powder, tomato bouillion, green chile powder, and a little cumin.  I wouldn't write all of that out except its super tasty, has lots of protein and fiber, and settles really well.  I will keep making it, just like Jandell makes her pot of chili every week.  Except for me it will probably only be once a month.  Once you get to that point, homemade soups and stews are a great way to get in lots of good for you items without too much fat or many carbs (just the veggies).  And they usually don't cost much either!  I am making myself hungry with all these posts about food today.
