RE: Phobos Fitness - A Typical Meal For me
Dude I´m also all for simple and functioning meals. Would highly recommend to throw some greens in the mix though. Not only for the vitamins and minerals but especially for the fibre. Some broccoli would accompany that meal perfectly and it´s made so quick and easy. Preferably cooked, or even better steamed, as raw as possible.
The reason for the sugar cravings when you only eat rice is the high glycemic index and missing fibre in white rice which spikes your blood sugar!
Personally, I like to mix white with brown rice and add greens to get rid of that problem.
Keep going! ;-)
Great info for sure. I didn't know the exact reason for the sugar cravings. I figured it was because the food was fairly bland.
What are your thoughts on the dietary fiber in fruit vs the fiber in something like broccoli?
Nothing wrong with fruit as a fibre source. Pineapple only got about 1,5 g fibre per 100g though. Would totally keep eating it though, if you like it and can get fresh ones. Pineapple offers lots of other benefits. Raspberry’s and blackberry’s are very high in fibre. Another good source for fibre and healthy fats is Avocado or flax seeds. 40 g of fibre per day is a good figure to make sure that the gut stays healthy ;-)
Oh and if you can find a tomato sauce that doesn´t have too much sugar and fat in it, it will make such simple meals taste much better without costing any more time and effort ;-)
I love the tomato sauce idea. I never thought of that! Thanks!
