i am not cutty but going out for sushi usually works pretty easily bc it is good protein. needs more veggies. and just don't eat too much rice.

when you are eating out, don't be embarassed to order a salad. usually restuaurant salads are huge and there is always a protein option. go with the oil and vinegar, skip the house dressing.
stay away from the appetizer bread.

re: sushi
always go for the sashimi to not overload on rice

shasta, for instance, this AM, i did not eat before my two-hour ride, which was probably just under 50 miles. after i had the recovery shake and oatmeal. then the cereal 2 hours later.
for a 50+ mile, i would have the oatmeal 1-2 hours before the ride, with banana, or other fruit.

contrary to vegetarians everywhere, soy is not good for you. particularly for male endurance athletes as it is estrogen producing.

cutty, is it healthier to eat peanut butter straight out of the peanut butter jar, or to eat it with fruit preserves ("jam" or "jelly") in a peanut butter and fruit preserves sandwich?
― iiiijjjj, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 20:29 (11 months ago) Permalink
first, you've got to want to change the dynamic between you and food. and the pleasure of eating those bad foods. you have to see the importance of eating healthy, natural, whole foods. you have to look at the big picture. it's definitely a huge shift for people who could give a fuck about what they put in their bodies for the majority of their lives.
― cutty, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 20:30 (11 months ago) Permalink
iiiijjjj, i've given up peanut butter (as it is a legume, not a nut) and stick with the almond butter. it's more expensive, yeah. but it's better for you. i would make a tasty pb&j sandwich on whole grain bread. watch the jelly, though--make sure it's all natural and there's no HFCS.

this conversation is hilarious. quincie why are you trying to go kosher?

you can have butter without meat. like q could give up steak, which is not that hard

― Maria, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 18:53 (8 months ago) Permalink
a vegetarian diet--and even a pescatarian diet (so long as you are only eating the OK species of fish, i.e. those with scales) are iirc inherently kosher. Throw in meat and that's when things get tricky wrt dairy.
Yeah I'm not really set on keeping kosher; it is just on my mind lately as I've had to read two books on kashrut for Jew School.

one interesting fact in this china study book (I feel like the 5th grade nerd who goes around quoting groliers or somethin) is that these chinese people were eating more calories than their american counterparts yet had a lower BMI - apparently if you are eating the right kind of calories even if you eat more most of it gets burned as heat instead of getting converted to fat
