a 100 year

[p3titexburial]

I'm quite tiny--4"11 and 110lbs. No worries, I know it seems strange but I think there's also some family influences in it. Not sure on the levels of each for my cholesterol but high enough for my doctor to freak out on. It runs in my family though, so I gotta watch out for it.

On the 1000 calorie thing:

A normal meal for me would be a bowl of white rice (or red, or brown depending on what my mom's feeling like making, or what's in my pantry) sauteed veggies (usually bok choi, spinach, or carrots, with PAM as oil, soy sauce, garlic), some steamed fish (rice wine, soy sauce, pepper, ginger) and a bowl of soup (miso, radish, bean sprout, seaweed etc). The meat gets switched around a bit but it's never a hunk of meat, usually strips with salted veggies, sometimes a tofu or shrimp dish. If I have this for 2 meals a day (probably around 500 calories total each meal) and have my usual steamed egg and fruit in the morning for breakfast, it literally barely tops 1000, probably 1300 if I'm pushing it. I don't eat many sweets (I get sugar migraines) and cake and pastries were never a big thing. Snacks (if I'm peckish) that are around the house are usually dried fruit, dried tofu skins, dried squid, octopus (cephalopods beware) pretty much anything that can be dried and seasoned. We eat early--5 is normal dinner time.

I'm going to try out that EER, it looks really interesting. Thanks!
