If I can chip in here... I must admit I dont think Ive read all the post in this specific thread but am sure Ive read most.
There are so many things to consider when "testing" what work and what doesnt that I just dont do it anymore, I go with my gut feeling, and eat what feels good, whether it is carbs, fat or protein - when done sit back relax and think for a moment how nice it was, then forget about it.(like Heather does)
For example: Could the combination of what you eat with the rice (carbs) make a difference?
I am not a strong believer of combined eating, but do know there are certain things together that are just a no-go for me. It could be that it feels that your body doesnt react on it, but it does.
Or what about the sequence you eat it... Rice first then Salmon, or the other way around, or should you mix it before eating...?
Maybe its the Salmon, and white fish will be better?
Anything you drink while eating - or even after the meal?
Too many things - and once I start thinking like this it feels like my brain will "explode" too technical, too many uncertainties that I probably never will resolve, too many thinking about food, or should I say obsession with it - so that is the main reason I now just eat what feels good. If it feels good, I go for it, if it doesnt feel good I just try to not eat it again.
That is also the reason I love fast 5 (although I am mostly doing one meal per day) I dont have to measure, count, and think about food for most of the day except for about an hour or so when preparing and eating it.
The other great thing about not worrying about what I eat is that I am not hungry until my next meal. If I eat anything that I feel "is suppose to be good for my body" but I were not really into eating it, I am hungry before the next meal. Which tells me this is not only physical for me, but on a psychological level too.
