I am content with rice

after all many people in the world rely on it because they have nothing else

 

[peace]

Very true. Very true! Here in North America, we have too much of everything.

Back in the day we never ate meat on Friday

My Grandma also gave up meat every Wednesday in honor of those who fought in WWII and the shortage of meat during the war.

 

[peace]

Same here except for Wednesdays

 

[papasmerf]

Same here exceot fr Wednesdays

for years I abstained from meat on Friday's year round

I intend to go back to that this year.

 

[peace]

What motivate you to do so?

 

[papasmerf]

I actually miss the ritual


During Lent I fast and that means I try to eat no meat or drink no alcohol.

I also try to eat 900 calories or less per day.
Most days when I am home during Lent my meals are simple rice or beans, maybe some fish or taters.

on the road they meals are harder to plan

900? Shouldnt you try to at least eat up to 1500 per day but then again it depends on your height, weight, etc. Perhaps Maurice can help us out here. I know a full time athlete would double the amount of calories...

the idea of a Fast is sacrifice.

The body makes up the difference in calories.

Not to say it is an idea everyone should do but I do.
