liv 001 thanks for the information on the tofu shiritake noodles. Unfortunately I live in a rural area with only on market and believe me even though they are a chain they don't carry anything like that. I have to work on reducing my regular recipes to suit a diet. I have a recipe to make noodles made with soy flour but of course can't find that anywhere around here. Fat Secret has been a great help by being able to put my recipes in with changes that are still good yet reduce the fat and calories so this is the first time I have effectively been able to lose weight. I am not that much over weight but I don't want it to get out of control and when you are less than 5' it can easily.
