Today is the opposite of the last few days. I woke up feeling really hungry - even a little shaky. So I had a tablespoon of bee pollen which always helps in these moments. And then right on queue the Balinese lady next door brought me some black sticky rice with grated fresh coconut and palm sugar syrup for breakfast.
Not exactly staple CRON food but it was just what I needed today. Amazing how the body responds to create balance and just as amazing how our environment often gives us just what we need too!
I did a search to try to find out the nutrition information for black rice but no luck. It seems the 'World's Healthiest Foods' did the same thing and on this page they state that the nutritional composition is very similar to brown rice so I will record it in CRON-O-Meter as brown rice.
So my fellow CRONies - I have a question for you. How do you all decide where to set your calorie levels? As low as you can while still meeting RDA's?
According to CRON-O-Meter my daily requirement is almost 1800 which seems like a lot to me. But if I use this as a guide then I should probably be aiming for at least 1200 a day. It might actually be a good idea to keep the calories a little higher until I get my diet more fine tuned as well.
