Eating habit puzzler

[shootingstar]

I am not vegetarian but eat meat 3-4 times per month. I have egg replacement various cooked forms 2-3 times per month. Or less.

Because I no longer feel well when I eat lots of white rice, because of it's high glycemic (which would tip me closer to diabetes 2...And I am a small, slim person), I found light dried Asian pasta (not rice vermicelli) or very light fresh steamed Asian pasta a solution for me. I have drastically cut back my bread consumption. I will eat a very thin, flat type of pita bread that doesn't use much flour and it has no eggs, fat nor sugar. I'm not referring to the pita breads that are thicker and smaller. These are like the size of pizza circumference.

I don't have the heavier Italian style dried pasta. Of course, I love freshly made Italian pasta ..and will go after a ravioli or torellini dish at a restaurant.

So I have white rice..um..maybe once every 3-4 months, when I have to have my lovable sushi and sashimi!!

Also having couscous would be a light alternative several times per month.

I actually rarely make salads for myself. He's the salad maker and does a much better job with so much more tasty creativity than I can do it.

So the veggie dishes I do make tend to be stir fried/sauteed, steamed or roasted. I can make up a stir fried dish that is tasty on the fly whereas he has to think about it to make it taste right.

Most likely you are good a with certain type of cooking techniques or certain types of dishes.

You might consider more Asian veggie consomme noodle dishes which are filling, yet reasonably healthy. But squash soups, beet, tomato soups are great too.
