What is a good substitute for rice?!


Question: What is a good substitute for rice!?
I am eating 1500 calories a day and dinner's consist of vegetables with wholewheat pasta one night, couscous the next and rice on the third night!. I hate rice and always have, I have eaten the rice meal twice now and cant stand it!. What can I substitute for the rice that is appetising!? I am vegetarian so no meat and please no tofu, I hate that too!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There's a company that does package a lot of grains called Bob's Red Mill!. Most stores will carry these products, but you can also order them online from www!.bobsredmill!.com

You seem to rely heavily on grains!. I'm a huge fan of lentils myself!.!.!.give them a try! Barley is also great, but I would recommend trying another kind of rice!. Brown rice has a slightly creamy, nutty flavor, and black rice is slightly sweet and creamy!.

"I will try potatoes although ppl always say they are fat"
Uh, yeah, if you add a ton of butter, bacon, and cheese, then yes, potatoes are fattening!. On their own, they are just a starchy carbohydrate, just like rice, couscous, etc!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

try this recipe, i wasnt a tofu fan before but now i love it!
