I agree that rice added to a meal makes it very inexpensive. You have been pushing rice a lot more than many of us following a low carb/high fat diet. My concern is with all the carbohydrates in rice, I would gain fat when I included it with an inexpensive meal with fish.
Do you have to limit your portions of rice CARBS to a certain portion size, instead of a very filling portion that I had been eating with salmon? How many carbs do you eat? After all, one cup of cooked rice is 44 carbs and a half cup wouldn't be filling.
