Hi George,

I compiled nutrition data on chowder peas and brown rice with drug
free diabetes numbers in parenthesis.

Chowder peas: 1 cup:
http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/...roducts/4332/2
calories: 200 KCal (~1600 KCal per day)
carbs: 35.7 grams (15 max per meal / 60 max per day)
fiber: 11.2 grams (the more the merrier!)
glycemic load: 13 (10 or less per day)

You'd probably get away with a 1/2 cup (load of 6.5) a day.


Brown Rice: 1 cup:

calories: 216 KCal
carbs: 44.8 grams
fiber: 3.5 grams
glycemic load: 22


For comparison: Table Sugar:

1 cup:
calories: 774 KCal
carbs: 200 grams
fiber: 0 grams
glycemic load: 139



Be careful my friend. You have to live to be 100 or
at least until I get a successful garden, in which
case you have to live to be 200.
