Not something I've ever really done but decided to try it for dinner tonight. I had many, many calories to play with. Just as well!
I made some veggie fritters on brown rice with a tiny bit of sweet and sour sauce.
The veg. was just veg.
The rice was just rice.
The sauce was under a Tbsp.
The batter was flour, oil, water and egg white, so quite light.
The meal wasn't huge. It was very tasty. It was 1100 calories!! and the largest one item of that was the oil - 500 calories-worth those fritters absorbed!
Well, that's one lesson learned, one not worth repeating. Was tasty though.
