I compiled nutrition data on chowder peas and brown rice with drug free diabetes numbers in parenthesis.
Chowder peas: 1 cup:

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.
There is more to judging food than just the calories. You must include the nutrients in each item.
The cRowder pea is a good source of dietary fiber. They are rich in potassium with good amounts of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. They also have small amounts of iron, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium. Crowder peas are rich in vitamin A and C. They have a good amount of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid. They also have a small amount of folate.
I am sure that George knows exactly what and how much he can eat. Anyone who has been on a diet of any kind knows quickly learns that.
You're exactly right Susan, have been diabetic for many years, pretty much eat anything I want, including sweets, in moderation. We've been growing our own vegetables since the early sixties. Plus back then we raised goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and wild game and fish. Wish I could have a trio of rabbits here, they don't smell bad, the manure doesn't burn so it can go straight to the garden, they taste good, and they don't make a lot of noise. Maybe I should petition the HOA, naw, they're all city people.
Miz Anne is making another batch of fig jam with lemons, good stuff for later. Heat is hitting the gardens pretty hard, we're watering twice a day, have to do that with raised beds sitting on clay. No dirt for retention of water.
Just ordered a new pair of reading glasses, the old ones got scratched up somehow. Oh well, got those in 2013, they had a good run considering how I treat them.
True. Glycemic Load comes way before calories. Then mention of calories was because T2 Diabetics have a hard time handling too many of them and it keeps your blood sugar high. And it also keep fat on your liver and pancreas.
They also contain lectins, phytic acid, protease inhibitors. This is to keep animals from digesting them so that they will poop them out and disseminate their seeds. Beans are not all too good for humans. (CPeas are actually a bean.)
We now have 1 in 11 of us with T2 Diabetes. T2 is an injury, not a disease. It is caused by carbohydrate poisoning. This is because we humans got all to clever for our own britches and artificially hybridized pants for unnatural levels of carbohydrates not found in nature.
Chowder peas is one of the offenders. The worst are the grains. If it doesn't come from the produce isle or the meat isle, it isn't food. And, some of those aren't food either.
And there is no such thing as a "Healthy Carb". I believed that lie and that is how I got my injury (T2). Brown rice, white rice, whole wheat, white flour, table sugar, all the same thing below your chin
He does. He is also relying on allopaths to patch him up (heart attacks, strokes) after not removing those things from his diet that caused the injury in the first place. There will come a time when the allopaths can not patch him up. And this scares me as I really like the guy.
Speaking of allopaths patching you up, yesterday, I was at a customer site where one of the employee's husband just got out of the hospital after 30 days with kidney failure. He has T2 and went the Drug, Carb, and Allopath route. According to his wife, he was on four injections a day. He will not give up the carbs. Carbs are very addictive. Seen them kill too many T2's.
The pity is that once you kick the carbohydrate addition -- took me about two weeks -- you can start tasting your food again. And, that got me into trouble as I taught myself to cook Primal and as I got better and better at it, I ate more and more. I was pushing 4000 KCals a day. Now I am back down to 1600 KCals or less a day and am back under control. The food is SO GOOD! Life is unfair like that.
Don't forget the consequences: your heat attacks and strokes. You have live to be 100 or till I get a successful garden, in which case you will live to be 200!
An interesting observation: these metals (a.k.a. minerals) will not be in the plant unless they are in the soil first. Depleted soil is a huge and fascinating subject
This information I have been giving you was withheld from me by the allopathic community, except for the (one honest) ER allopath that originally diagnosed me. This is why I am telling you. T2 will kill you on the installment program, as it is doing to you, but only if you let it.
But since you now know there is another way and I am starting to annoy you (not my intention), I will drop it. If you ever decide to go the drug free route, I have a wealth of information I can send you.
And you have to live to be 100! Or at least until I get a successful garden, in which case you will be the first T2 on record to reach 200!
Sometimes when folks care about you, they can be annoying. Any good SWMBO can explain it. While you are at it, get them to explain why they get both votes in the two vote marriage rule. (Hint: because if they don't get both votes, you won't take care of yourself.)
