Need Help calculating Rice quantity...
I have been eating in quarter size plates for dinner, not big plates, just for portion control. I had basmati indian rice today but only ate half of my quarter plate of rice. I am wondering how many calories that would be? Any idea? Also, how much would it be in grams?

I feel fit, energetic and possibly even looking better (from what hubby says), but I am…

I wanted to know how many calories I should log for swimming. I swam for 40 mins and did about 23 laps of breast stroke. The pool should be about 20m. Any guess? I would say I did it moderate strength.

Food for Thought...
Now that I am seriously counting calories and keeping a log, I am amazed at how many calories one eats without realizing when we are in the "unknown". When you get in the habit of logging them down, you automatically start thinking of food differently! I also look at all the restaurants and food industry and am amazed how…

And, why exactly was I hungry? My calories were at 1352. Could that be a reason or was it since I ate early (6pm) and slept so…
