How can I vary the food I eat...?

How I vary the food I eat because of my diet? I'm Asian so my family of course cooks rice every day. I'm an animal lover and I've thought about becoming a semi-vegetarian but I grew up eating meat all the time and it's on the table everyday. It would difficult for me to give up meat but how can I limit my intake? How can I incorporate other foods into my diet during dinner? I don't eat lamb, tofu is good when made the right way as well as spinach. What dishes are there that can go with white rice that doesn't contain much meat or none at all. I eat white rice everyday for dinner so I don't have a choice. The only thing that is different are the dishes/side dishes.How can I vary the food I eat...?
I did the same thing a few years ago. Focus on one or two non-Asian countries to start with (I started with French and Greek), either go on-line or get a couple of cook books from the library and pick a few dishes from each. Make a point of making a dish or two per week. Then go on and find other countries whose cuisine appeals to you. It worked for me - I now have a bigger/better repertoire. Takes some work but it is worth it!How can I vary the food I eat...?
you dont need to diet if your asian, silly.
the only thing i can think of, is to use (beans (and/or) bread) in your diet.

Limit you meals to (2 or 3) a day!
Brown beans and rice is good. Okra tomato and corn on rice is good. Black eyed peas and rice is good. red beans and rice is good. Jambalaya,gumbo, etoufee, google all that.
Hi

It is always difficult changing your diet when food is on the table for everyone, what I would suggest is this, if you make a vegetable main course or a fish course others can share your food but you get the main portion. It does mean you have to cook everyday but you want what you want right?

You can have so many things with rice.... Okra, Stir fry with beansprouts and carrot, lentils, beans, Dosa with vegetables, Using frozen mixed vegetables is a short cut as well seasoned what ever way you like them. You could even try fried rice with mixed vegetables. Start looking at recipe books in the shops to come up with ideas. Even menus from restaurants may give you ideas.

I like puppies.

Steve Zahn is not, NOT Al Giordino.

I know the economy stinks, but why doesn't anybody want to hire me?

I would like to ask a couple questions?

I'm almost 18. 5'3 - 5'4 and I weight about 119-124. Is that normal? or above average?



Another thing is that I've been dieting and trying to lose fat and I've been counting calories, doing push ups and crunchers and other stuff at home (reps throughout the day) and I've been monitoring and recording my diet and avoided sugary stuff or at least not as much as I ate today.



Today, however, I kinda splurged.. Today I ate:



A peach, and a handful of Apple Jacks for breakfast (I have small hands). And then I went out for a 30 minute casual walk to the supermarket.



Then for lunch I ate 2 slices of wheat bread (45 calories each slice), with laughing cow cheese, small amount of ketchup, and a boca meatless burger pattie. I had a 90 calorie rice krispie treat bar with a tablespoon of ice cream on top of it. and a can of diet soda.



Later today, I ate two pieces of pitted dried prunes. and a nutrigrain bar (blueberry) and a 30 calorie bread cracker thingy.



For dinner, I made 8 servings of shirataki tofu noodles for my family with these meatless meat shreads and white mushrooms with a bit of oyster sauce, cooked (stirred fried in a pan without oil). I ate 2 bowls of the noodles and a diet soda



This is where I kind of splurged. I ate a peach, 100 calorie oreo mini cakesters, a banana, sugarless jell-o which is 10 calories, a 90 calorie low fat quackers chewy bar, and this 80 calorie pack of kid's gummy candy thing that my mom bought for my little sister..



Afterwards, I went on my daily run which is about 60-70 minute run. I don't walk at all during this run..



Was my calorie intake %26gt; calorie burned? Also, if my weight is normal, I am pretty flabby/fat in the stomach area.. is it because I have too much sugar intake? How do I get rid my fat?I would like to ask a couple questions?
Your problem is that you dont eat things that keep you full. You eat a lot of empty calories.

From your foods listed I am guessing youre a vegetarian.

Add almonds to a fiber/protein filled cereal like Special K protein with sliced fruit on top. Oatmeal works too.

Add a green salad with low calorie dressing to your lunch with soy or black beans (tons of protein and will keep you full)

With dinner add some kind of bean or other protein (even a soy protein shake would help)

Stay away from diet soda... it contains sugar substitute which can actually make you crave sweets more.. and has high amounts of sodium, which can dehydrate you.

Instead of eating things like oreo cakesters, have apple slices... or orange... or any kind of fruit for that matter.

Try to eat more protein and nutrient rich food.... and drink at least 80oz of water a day. This will definitely help you feel better and keep from feeling hungry.



and no... youre not above average in your weight... youre actually on the smaller side. Try adding in some weight lifting to your workouts to give you muscle mass and more definition. Lifting weights also helps to burn fat faster.I would like to ask a couple questions?
1
you're normal. Fat can be burned by getting the right exercise. Try swimming in the summer.
I hate when people get on yahoo answers and obviously pretend (or stretch the truth WAY far) to have ';problems';. You are obviously looking for someone to say ';O NO! You have a eating disorder, mabey anorexia';. I don't know whether your insecure or what, but I'm sure you can find better things to do (or ask!). I can't imagine you meeting a new person (on your ';60 minute uber-intense run';), O I get online and try to get people to tell me I need help for shits n giggles. FIND A NEW HOBBY!

Do I have some kind of disorder?

I workout as much as I can..

On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I do..

12min 5.5mph

6 min 3.5mph

2 min 7mph

2 min 6mph on the treadmill

some light ab/weight workouts

40min on the stationary bike, leisure. i probably bike around only 13-14miles within those 40 minutes.



and then on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, I do a cardio kickbox class at 24 hour fitness.

but some days I feel super tired and I'll skip one or two days out of the Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday routine.



Then on food wise, every morning I eat the unsweetened, original, quaker instant oatmeal. no lunch, then when I come home (2:30) i drink a couple cups of hot tea and 1 fuji apple. then, normally I would go workout. And for dinner I usually eat steamed vegetables, or soups, or fruits.

Occasionally I'll eat wild caught salmon or chicken breast. and that's mainly my only resource of protein, and tofu.

Do you think this would be over 1000 calories?

Oh, and I'm 15, and weigh about 92lbs.

I also walk my dog for about 30 minutes everyday, and that's not including how he stops and sniffs and stuff. But it's always a light/regular walk.



But I still think I'm fat. And I for some reason refuse to eat anything cooked with oil, red meat, and pasta/rice whenever I'm at home. And when I'm at a restaurant, I'm very very picky.

Is my lifestyle heatlhy?Do I have some kind of disorder?
Ok you don't have a disorder at the moment but if you let things continue on you could start banning more foods and then end up anorexic so i suggest that you go and consult a medical proffesional about a healthy diet good luck :)Do I have some kind of disorder?
Nope. Not a healthy life style. The food your eating adds up to less than 300 calories. Your mental state is not in good condition. It's not like your anorexic or something like you want to be, but you sound like a very boring person. Go exercise with your friends instead of going on machines.



How tall are you?
You are grossly underweight unless you are under 5ft. tall.

Go to ';calculate BMI'; and see for yourself.

Because you are obsessing and think you are still fat, yes, you very likely DO have anorexia nervosa.

See your doctor and get a referral to a counselor who specializes in eating disorders.

Vegetarian: I need ideas for meals?

(I don't eat meat or fish, I DO eat dairy and a lot of it. Because of a health problem, I can't eat foods high in carbs)

I'm trying hard to eat healthier, but I never cooked until recently and am having a hard time coming up with meals. they need to be something I can prepare in advanced so I can use leftovers for meals over 2 or 3 days.

Right now I eat omelette's for breakfast, peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and usually tofu and veggie stir fry for dinner.

I also need something I can take for lunches that doesn't need to be heated up. I was going to make a bean salad without all the oil and stuff. Not sure how it will taste, but I'll give it a try.



Does anyone have suggestions for fairly easy to prepare meals that don't take a ton of ingredients, and I can use the leftovers?Vegetarian: I need ideas for meals?
Here are a few websites for you:



http://www.vegcooking.com/f_holiday_cook鈥?/a>



http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm



http://www.ivu.org/recipes/



My daughter is vegan and I use these websites to make food for her, I am sure you can find whatever you desire on these sites.

Good Luck:)Vegetarian: I need ideas for meals?
I'm vegetarian ( i don't eat eggs, meat or fish)

i love BOCA BRUGER, meatless meatloaf, beans. Honestly there's tons of recipes online!! have fun looking:)
My current favourite is a vegetarian shepherd's pie - substitute brown lentils for the ground beef, mixed with barbecue sauce for more flavour.



For lunches, I'm a big fan of avocados and hard boiled eggs. I spread half an avocado on two slices of whole wheat bread, and layer with sliced eggs. Or make a spinach salad, with sliced eggs and chunks of avocado (not too ripe, firm is better) with your choice of veggies and dressing.
Eating the way you are eating now, you will become more unhealthy with vegetarian food.



Here are a few ideas for you:



(1) Cook 1-1/2 to 2 cups of rice in a pressure cooker. My wife usually adds 2 to 3 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. This will become at least 4-1/2 to 6 cups after cooking. Eat at least 2 cups of rice for lunch and dinner along with the following two:



(2) Cook at least 1 cup of lentils. You can cook both lentils and rice in a pressure cooker and they will come out fine. Add plenty of water to lentils. The lentil we usually use is called ';Toor Dal'; and can be found in Indian stores.



(3) Cook plenty of vegetables in plenty of water. Add a pinch of salt. My wife adds ';Masala'; (again try Indian stores) in addition to salt but that is because we are from India and we love hot and spicy food. Everyone should try it too. Make sure the masala has turmeric; studies after studies have shown turmeric to be highly beneficial. You can also buy turmeric and add it to the vegetables while boiling.



These, along with milk will keep you healthy.



For breakfast, I either eat breakfast bars made of oats or I cook oats (about 1/2 cup is good). I add chutney powder (Indian stores) and some salt to make it interesting.



You state that you cannot foods high in carbs. If rice is an issue, try other whole grains like wheat or whole eats.



I highly recommend that you (and any others who read this) buy a cook book on South Indian food and learn to cook South Indian way. It is probably the best way to cook food. The only caveat: It can be spicy and too much cooking of vegetables (especially frying) which is sometimes used by Indians is not good. Avoid oils and fatty substances.
Grilled veggie and cheese quesedilla- Can use the grilled veggies for your omelet the next morning.

Bcoz i am a man?

Because I'm a man, when I lock my keys in the car I will fiddle with a wire clothes hanger and ignore your suggestions that we call a road service until long after hypothermia has set in.



Because I'm a man, when the car isn't running very well, I will pop the hood and stare at the engine as if I know what I'm looking at. If another man shows up, one of us will say to the other, ';I used to be able to fix these things, but now with all these computers and everything, I wouldn't know where to start.'; We will then drink beer.



Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You never get as sick as I do, so for you this isn't an issue.



Because I'm a man, I can be relied upon to purchase basic groceries at the store, like milk or bread. I cannot be expected to find exotic items like ';Cumin'; or ';Tofu';. For all I know these are the same thing. And never, under any circumstances, expect me to pick up anything for which ';feminine hygiene product'; is a euphemism.



Because I'm a man, when one of our appliances stops working I will insist on taking it apart, despite evidence that this will just cost me twice as much once the repair person gets here and has to put it back together.



Because I'm a man, I must hold the television remote control in my hand while I watch TV. If the thing has been misplaced, I may miss a whole show looking for it (though one time I was able to survive by holding a calculator).



Because I'm a man, I don't think we're all that lost, and no, I don't think we should stop and ask someone. Why would you listen to a complete stranger -- I mean, how the hell could he know where we're going?



Because I'm a man, there is no need to ask me what I'm thinking about. The answer is always either sex or baseball, though I have to make up something else when you ask, so don't.



Because I'm a man, I am capable of announcing, ';One more beer and I really have to go';, and mean it every single time I say it, even when it gets to the point that the one bar closes and my buddies and I have to go hunt down another. I will find it increasingly hilarious to have my pals call you to tell you I'll be home soon, and no, I don't understand why you threw all my clothes into the front yard. Like, what's the connection?



Because I'm a man, you don't have to ask me if I liked the movie. Chances are, if you're crying at the end of it, I didn't.



Because I'm a man, yes, I have to turn up the radio when Bruce Springsteen or The Doors comes on, and then, yes, I have to tell you every single time about how Bruce had his picture on the cover of Time and Newsweek the same day, or how Jim Morrison is buried in Paris and everyone visits his grave. Please do not behave as if you do not find this fascinating.



Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it looks fine. Your hair is fine. You look fine. Can we just go now?



Because I'm a man, and this is, after all, the 90's, I will share equally in the housework. You just do the laundry, the cooking, the gardening, the cleaning, and the dishes. I'll do the rest.
