I think we bought 6 real eggs ..once in the past 5 yrs.

Instead we buy egg substitutes or egg whites. I tend to buy the latter. It tastes lighter to me which is what we want. As I said earlier in thread, we tend to prepare egg dishes..for supper at home. Hmmmm....only about 2-3 times per month. It's just a natural evolution of things. I don't feel a powerful need to eat eggs more often nor do I miss it when I don't have it.

Fried rice that I do, chatty is how my mother does it which is different from the restaurant. I think the restaurants use abit too much soy sauce. But the general process is I think is to stir fry cooked rice by itself and then combine it with stir fried eggs & with veggies already nearly done. Then stir fry again quickly everything, etc.

However, my mother omitted the stir frying of rice separately and just put in the rice with the stir fried eggs and veggies, which gives the whole dish a much fluffier and different taste than restaurant style.

I actually gave up trying to do stir fried rice with eggs, etc. Instead I simply have eggs stir fried/scrambled with veggies, onion and garlic on the side with rice. That alone is a meal in itself..for supper.

Oatmeal is considered a good fast absorbing carbohydrate that alot of people who exercise early in the day, eat. However I never eat the huge bowls of oatmeal that one might see others have. it's just half a c. of oatmeal with some milk. I have oatmeal that has no sugar.

I'm not pure because my downfall is after a bike ride, I might have a scone, or muffin and coffee.
