[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We had a 3lb London Broil, 2.5 cups of rice (prior to cooking) and 2 large red bell peppers for dinner last night. 2 parents and 2 teen boys 16 and 17. [/b]Mom ate 1 of the peppers and 4 oz of meat. Dad ate 8oz of meat the boys split the rest and each had 1/2 a pepper. If we make chicken breasts dh and I split 1 the boys each eat a large one. Meal size also depends on their afternoon snack. Today the 16y had a box of perogies after school so for dinner he had 6 wings and a side of fries. [/quote] I would have added to the bolded meal - a chickpeas, broccoli, water chestnut, lettuce, beet salad with feta, spices and dressing, - added shelled peas, carrots, baby corn with warm spices to the rice. - Add sauted onions, garlic, mushrooms - to the bell peppers. - Dessert would be yogurt with nuts, fruits, dates and a small slice of banana nut bread or vanilla cake. And reduced the london broil to 2 lbs. [/quote]
