I was so hungry today...
Had a typical breakfast for me (hash brown sandwiches), typical lunch (noodles with lentils, broccoli, pepitas, soy sauce)...got halfway through that and had to go to the store...bread and sunflower seeds for snack.
Dinner was 2 burritos with a Mexican lentil filling, veggies and sunflower seeds + 2 more sandwiches with more lentil filling and sunflower seeds and veggies, then a third triple decker sandwich with the same. Now, I am finally full.

Very similar to lunch, but I prepared the soy beans and rice differently:
Lightly steamed (instead of boiled) brown rice and soy beans (both soaked overnight), raw spinach, tomato, lettuce, brown mushrooms, caramelized onion, garlic, chili flakes, dill water, salt and a few drops of sesame seed oil.
I'm lightly steaming my beans and brown rice from now on, instead of boiling them. After doing a little research, I've found that even left intact (and soaking overnight first to remove phytate), the vitamin and mineral loss when cooked in water is very substantial. In order for this to be feasible, soaking overnight prior to steaming is a must, not an option.

Potato soup with celery and mushrooms, flavored with onion, garlic and rosemary, a little salt and some Tahini milk.
Should I get the urge to off myself in the next few hours, I will remember Consistency's remarks on the toxicity of potatoes, slowing eroding my brain and making cells explode. Oh my!

I had black forbidden rice with black beans last night. I seasoned it with some curry, cumin, and garlic. That was topped with some fresh sliced tomatoes, corn niblets, and some pea sprouts. I will probably eat the leftovers for dinner tonight.

The apartment was really hot so I spent most of the early evening outside. when i got in I was too hungry to cook something. I keep a can of Cuban beans for just such a situation. just heated them up with some leftover brown rice.
I had vegan sausage rolls and salad followed by some vegan cheese cake. I managed to resist the overwhelming urge to eat the whole cake but I managed it by munching on a carrot instead.
Well I scraped the leftovers idea. I'll eat that for lunch tomorrow. Instead...I made some cauliflower steaks. I grilled those while I baked a Japanese yam, and also made some kale & Napa cabbage coleslaw to bring it all together. My goodness was that ever tasty!

It was so hot today I made a huge salad with romaine, black olives, guacamole, lime juice, Tapatio, crushed tortilla chips and a generous portion of warm corn and peas tossed in. I know pintos or black beans sound more appropriate, but the peas were actually good - they were the frozen kind so they stayed nice and firm.

What are the advantages (if any) to black rice as opposed to brown in terms of basic nutrient content (vitamins and minerals) and other nutrient content? I couldn't find it on the self nutrition site.
A one-half cup serving of cooked black rice, or about ¼ cup uncooked, contains approximately (in daily recommended values):
- 160 calories
- 1.5 grams of fat
- 34 grams of carbohydrates
- 2 grams of fiber
- 5 grams of protein
- 4% DV for iron
Well, according to doctor Greger, black rice is healthier than brown rice, and red rice is even healthier than black rice, if you're going for the nutrient bang for your buck.
