Honey- Dumb Nub Question

[Taylormae]

I loves my honey, but as I'm sitting here eating a left over chocolate protein powder banana pancake from this morning with a smidge of honey on top (seriously it is yum), is honey clean?

I don't use copious amounts of it, just when I want something sweet, but if it's going to be a hidden demon keeping me from my goals, I can do without! This eating clean thing is seriously making me suspicious of all my food man.

Honey is clean. So long as you can fit it into your calorie/macro goals and continue to get plenty of complex carbs to power you through your day, you're good.

Awesome! Thanks.

I do account for my little teaspoon of honey in my Fitday, so that's okay. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't replaced my evil white sugar habit with something equally as bad!

Try to buy local honey as opposed to commercial. A lot of commercial honey is from bees that were fed corn sweetened water.

Poor bees.

I buy a local organic one, it's very thick and a very light colour and hasn't gone through whatever it is that makes honey squeezable....if that makes sense! It costs like ?4.99 a jar but it is yummay.

Good question. Sometimes I incorporate 1.5 tsp of honey into lunch and dinner. I thought it was clean, but it's nice to have some reassurance from some of the other knowledgable ladies here.
