Is this a good meal?

I was wondering if this seemed like a good dish for dinner now and again, egg fried rice?

Nothing processed or anything like that

what I use is:

2 eggs
a bit of salt
red onion
4 teaspoons of sunflower oil (or a bit less)
brown rice
and cooked peas?

Tried some of it earlier and it was delicious, but I was wondering if its a good thing to be eating and is it healthy even while im still trying to lose weight? :D

Thanks :)
 
I make a similar meal but use olive oil and put it on at the end rather than frying the rice in the oil. Also agree about the eggs, I use 1 whole egg and 3-5 whites.
 
Ok, thanks for the advice everyone.

This was just an idea for a meal at lunch time for school actually, I'm quite fed up with eating brown bread and a bit of meat in them everyday (nothing else with that, just saved my appetite till I got home >.<). Normally I'm not that hungry anyway, I eat a filling breakfast (bran flakes, oats or something like that usually :))

And since my school only does "greasy" food and the so called "healthy" alternative isint probably that healthy either, I want to make my OWN food and bring it in with me.

So here is the new ingredients then:

Olive oil (like one or two teaspoons)
One full egg, 3 whites
brown rice
peas
sweetcorn
red onion
and mix in a bit of chicken with that too
(no salt)

Does that all sound ok?

I actually had some I made the other day in school and it was very filling :)

Thanks for the help guys =D

The 4 tea spoons of sunflower OIL sounds like it is pretty bad and has alot of calories.

Sunflower oil is one of the better ones as far as fats go. It's better than vegetable, but not quite as good as canola or olive oil.

Simply in terms of fat grams, all oils are full of it- but how "good" they are considered depends on the type of fat.

the olive oil and canola oil that is in my kitchen has 0 grams of cholesterol.......

and it is 120 calories a tablespoon (not a teaspoon) for both..




Edit: I just checked on Fitday, and I couldn't find a cooking oil with cholesterol.

maybe not cholestrol, but 120 just for oil is alot, not even including all the bad fat
 
Okay, then Canola and Olive oil's sound like they are fine.....though i still try my best to avoid oils

Vegetable oil are the bad bad oils right?
 
Things that contain saturated fats are the ones you want to limit.

For strictly wt loss purposes, you don't want to go overboard on any fats - good or bad. However, a certain amount of fat is necessary.

The reason fats are considered "good" or "bad" is the effect they have on cholesterol.

Simplified -
Saturated fat = raises cholesterol (HDL & LDL)
Polyunsaturated = lowers cholesterol (HDL & LDL)
Monounsaturated = lowers LDL (the bad cholesterol) and doesn't lower HDL (the good)

Vegetable oil has 2 sat, 7 poly, 4 mono
Canola and olive oil have 1 sat, 6 poly, 6 mono

The really bad ones are cocunut and palm kernel oil.
 
This meal sounds good, For the past year and half that i have been dieting all i do is eat plain stuff..Tuna w/o mayo, Chicken breasts on the foreman, white rice, just plain food all in general never really mix it up...I will try this sometime but without the oil I get enough fats from my natural pb and my almonds

That would be a good idea. The menu you listed above is a big reason why most people fail at wt loss/fitness efforts - b/c the overwhelming majority of people just simply cannot live their lives eating mostly chicken breast, tuna, and veggies, over and over and over and over for very long.

There are many who feel that anything other than that, just isn't good enough. However, finding a way to make eating healthy good and add some variety can make a huge difference in making those dietary changes permanent.

I should be eating chicken breast tuna and veggies? Oo

I didnt know that, is that the most effective thing to eat while losing weight?

All I've been eating something similar (Mainly home made vegetable soups, fish, steak, and some chicken breast, vege's, and sandwiches (no butter in the sandwiches and they're wholemeal).
Anyway, should I be eating those mainly?
