Doesn't seem too bad at all. I just wouldn't cover each cob in butter and salt
cool thanks guys. im planning of having tinned sweet corn but i think your right too much sugar. thanks
Corn is definately a higher sugar carb. Once in a while would be OK but not on a regular basis. I usually save it for my free day.

Emma - this is a great thread! I am still learning what I can and cant eat as well. I would think corn would be ok but I am not an expert. :)
One of my co-workers brought in a Michelina's Lean Gourmet Salisbury Steak meal. Is this ok to eat? I know the whole foods are 10x better.

You probably want to stay away from pre-packaged meals like that. Not only is the food highly processed, the sodium level is off the charts for one meal. That's at least 1/2 your daily recommended intake of sodium in one meal.
The American Heart Association recommends that for every 1,000 Calories of food consumed, the sodium intake should be 1,000 mg and should not exceed the 3,000 mg limit.

Thanks BCbill. I know whole foods are much better for you.
In the BFL suggested foods list, corn is listed as a carb.
