    Question: When you look up rice to add to a meal and it say 1/4 dry, does that mean 1/4 cup before you cooked it? I assume so, but just checking. Thanks.

    yes...I had the same prob with rice and pasta always measure it out dry....wet and it fills the cup 40 times

    ...I hope that is brown rice my friend..white rice is really brown rice that has been stripped of the good nutrition because people think white is better than brown...how wacked is that?

    1/4 cup dry is a LOT of rice then... at least 2 cups wet. Yes, I ate brown tonight. Thanks for the pointer, again. Unfortunately, when I was at an oriental market, I bought a 20 lb. bag of jasmine rice. OOPS. Might have to throw some of that out. :smile:

    I just finished my second day. I am still shocked to see al the calories I eat.
    Did not expect that papaya had so many cal and kidney beans.
    It's a real wake up site.
    Trying out new food combinations with lower cal
    good luck everyone

    Franciss, this is the first time I have ever counted calories. It has given me a WHOLE new perspective on food and I have been eating much, much better. I have being staying completely away from processed foods and I really feel the difference. If you pick your foods wisely, you can eat quite a bit of food without going overboard on calories. I just have to work on reasonable portions and eating throughout the day while saving enough calories for a satisfying dinner.

    Good luck.

    I think that was one of the biggest shockers for me was the portion sizes...man...I used to just dump the cereal in to the bowl and now I know I was eating like 6-7 servings at a time....this is all good and can be fun.....glad you all are here on this journey

    I hear ya'll on the portion sizes. Especially with the cereal!:noway: That was a big eye opener for me. My hubby bugs the hell out of me (I don't know WHY it irks him) about measuring everything...he always says
    "So what if you have just 1/4 more of a cup of "whatever"...1/4th isn't enough to make a difference!!" WRONG..it makes a huge difference when you only have so many calories to work with! :grumble:
