Butter or margarine?

bscott Posts: 4 Joined: 2002/05/16	2002/05/17, 12:43 AM I've been trying to stay away from butter and margarine all together, but I need it for my brown rice... I'm fairly new to the whole diet scene anyway. My diet: 1) Whey protein powder in water and a glutamine and vit C source 2) Egg white ommlette with onions/peppers and more glutamine/vit C 3) 5 oz chicken breast, brown rice and a salad 4) Snack... either apple or banna with v8 juice 5) 6 oz of chicken breast boiled or grilled with a cup of veggies 6) Another whey protein mixture I have been reading to totaly cut out saturated fats... So I bought lite margarine, but I've read butter is better.. I'd really like some tips. ---------------------------- Thanks, Brad

To eat some butter or margarine is okey in small portions. Just never overdo it. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

What I have found as an alternative to butter or margarine is to use chicken (or beef) bouillon, as per the instructions. It makes a world of difference - gives the rice a tremendous flavor. Put more in if you want a stronger flavor.

I went through my fridge looking at all the seasonings nutrion facts and found some "GOYA" brand hot sauce and added some of that to my brown rice. I will definatly try the things you guys mentioned... Thanks -------------- Thanks, Brad
