(21,646 posts)Spanish rice fried in oil before cooking?
Made with lard re fried beans at home or restaurant versions that have more fat may contain about 120 calories in just one-third of a cup.
Spanish-style rice made from a package may contain about 200 calories per cup, while more-authentic homemade varieties fry in oil first could contain about 250 calories in the same serving. In total, your plate of Spanish rice and beans could range from 290 calories to 370 calories for only 1&1/3 cups of food . Add a tortilla or two fried over 500 probably
For me this is the reason I can't have this good stuff =too many calories / fat and I'd still be hungry with the portions and I don't want to go over or it will result in overweight so just the opposite .
Too bad dairy is upsetting to you that too for me is another way to gain - ice cream milkshakes whip cream butter cheese etc
Any Seeds or nut butter . Pure coconut oil has about 120 calories a teaspoon I believe and add it to anything including hot drinks
Or eat with a spoon it's solid at room temp here.
Fat is a must and good for everyone but for me just enough then mostly to my low cal fiber veggies that fill me up and lean protein is best for me.
Good luck to you on your gain
