pertaining to rice....I was looking online last night at fiber contents. Long grain brown rice (which is what I eat) is much higher in fiber than short grain white and had a much lower glycemic index. And I think it tastes better because they dont enrich it. I hate the taste of rice that's been enriched.

Lo69,

My training partner was complaining of the exact same thing as you (the revenous all the time thing) and after listening to what she eats (very similar to you) I figured out her protein was not near enough.

I'm a veggie and she's a too lazy to cook meat kinda girl so I suggested to her beans. and I make the same suggestion to you. The majority of my protein comes from beans. I suggest great northerns as a really good mix into any dish type bean (I toss them into rice and noodle dishes).

Since trying to up her protein she have not been ravenous - still eating more than she use to but she said she no longer feels like it's an eat now or die situation every second of the day.

Also you may want to try spreading your food over smaller meals in the event you eat 3 large meals. I eat a medium breakfast, mid-morning snack, small lunch, afternoon snack, medium dinner (unless it's taco night where I gorge myself unnecessarily ). I feel like I eat all the time but I am actually losing weight. I track my food on sparkpeople.com they have a lose weight option and a maintain option. You tell them how often you want to work out and they tell you how much you should eat. This might be helpful to you if you are really concerned about maintaining your weight. I've been doing it a few months and could probably not now that I have a good idea of how much I can eat in a day and stay in a good calorie range.

Hope these thoughts help!
