You are probably consuming more salt then you should, but you won't get cancer or anything like that. A good alternative would be peanut butter and white bread. You could add something like peanut butter sandwiches to reduce the amount of canned food, or could move to frozen veggies instead. But as a direct response to your question, usually canned food's biggest issue the salt content and just being overcooked.
I forgot to mention that I also eat a sandwich or something with the canned food meal. Like peanut butter and jelly or something. And about the salt content, I rinse both the beans and vegetables off before I mix them. I'm pretty sure there's little to no salt left at that point, because I don't taste any.
Fair enough. If you do want some easy suggestions for meals, here is one of my go to's (I'm also lazy and only cook one decent meal a week really so I have a lot of things like this that takes about 5 mins start to finish.)
Mexican Street Corn in a Cup. INGREDIENTS 1 Package of Steam In Bag Yellow Whole Kernel Corn. 1/2 TSP Salt 1/2 TSP Pepper 1/4 TSP Sugar 1/2 TSP Chili Powder 1/4 TSP Or To Taste - Cheyenne Pepper 2-4 TBSP Good Quality Mayo 1 TSP Lime Juice 1 TBSP finely shredded Cotija cheese (Can sub Parm but won't be exact) 1 TBSP finely chopped Cilantro (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS Cook corn as instructed.
While corn cooks, combine rest of the ingredients.
When corn is done, combine with mayo and cheese mix and make sure corn gets well coated. Eat it hot.
Cool, thanks for the recipe!
