Protein, Nutrition in Honey
Before modern times, before modern day chefs were born - in the vastness of the forests when men ran from dinosaurs and lived in dark dank caves, they enjoyed honey for dessert.
That's a fact.
There were no Cheese Danish Pastries at the time - or donuts, cheesecakes or even cave cookies. Just simple and pure raw honey.

And because the honey was harvested locally, they probably didn't suffer much from allergies. We can even apply that tip to our modern day world - where everyone and their pet has some sort of allergy.
Depending upon where the honey was harvested, the flavors differed. Those which the bees made from the nectar of dandelions tasted much different than the honey made from mint or other herbs and flowers.
On that note, let's review the nutrition facts for honey and see how much protein is contained therein. Wow - not much, but a lot more than sugar which hold zero grams. We'll follow this chart up with one for sugary foods, and then one containing Chocolate. Bet the cavemen didn't have chocolate either.....

Fast Food Tip: Supersizing meals supports the body. The more we poke into our tummies, the more difficult it is to get that full-feeling. In short: Our bodies require more and more food in order to achieve that 'I'm feeling full' feeling.
Ground Turkey, Leaner Than Beef
Opt for ground turkey over ground beef which contains less calories and fat. Odds are, you won't be able to tell the difference in your recipes.
Fast Food Diet Tip: Choose frozen yogurt over regular ice cream. Skinny dairy - skinny body. A fried pie may contain more fat and calories than an unfried slice of pie. Always check the calorie content on the label. If the pie is homemade, add up the calories in the recipe ingredients and divide by the number of slices in the pie.
Read labels carefully as manufacturers may interpret 'serving sizes' much differently than the official Food Pyramid.
One large slice of bread may equal one serving per package recommendations, but when compared to the Pyramid, the serving size may translate to 3-4 times the recommended level.
