Frightful Foods Week 1: Hot Pockets & Chef Boyardee

This is the first week of revitalizing the way you eat. We are going to tackle Hot Pockets and Chef Boyardee Brand foods!
So I found a great website that rates the nutritional value of foods we eat all the time. Calorie Count is a website for those looking for tools to manage their weight. It also has a great rating scale from A-F (like in school) that they apply to all types of food. 

The website lists all types of Hotpckets and the grades range from B- to F. The Flatbread Sausage Egg and Country Style Gravy is the only one to recieve an F. So that will be the first food to find a healthy substitute for. 

As for Chef Boyardee, Spaghetti and Meatballs in Tomato Sauce received a D (which was the worst grade). This kid friendly food claims to be nutritional however the highest grade was C+. Lets find something better for our kids!


Im excited lets do it!!
