Healthy Choice?

[Smokescreen]

Are the hams from the brand Healthy Choice good to use in a sandwhich? Are they a good source of protein?

check for hidden sugars in processed ham
may be low fat but not necessarily that great for you
unless you are not concerned about carbs
i like old fashioned hams myself bone-in and all

Only 1 gram of carbs per slice. But only 5 grams of Protein per slice. Sodium is at 170mg per slice. But I let it run under water so that some of the salt and sugar can come off. Will this help?

lol
the salt and sugar has saturated the cells
do yourself a favour eat regular ham if you have to
fat is not your enemy
biggest problem with ham
esp cheap ham is sodium
to get the salt out you'd have to boil it for some time
not tasty option

I checked out AAAALLLL the hams at the supermarket and this is by far the one with the least amount of salt, fat or calories.
