Need advice

[Ronkh]

Tonight at dinner, my GF made a dis with Quinoa. (rice substitute) :angry: She's into healthy food.

So for those that know me, I like to eat, and again for those who know me, know that it's nearly impossible to keep my big mouth shut............

SHe proceeded to tell me the health benefits of the stuff as well as how high in protein it is.

Here is my dilemma.....

Do I explain the difference between plant protein and animal protein, or for harmony sake, keep my mouth shut?

an ya guess what I did?

I'm thinkin' you didn't tell her the Ex was a better cook.

when I got married my wife told me to always let her know if i didn't like a meal. well 22+ yrs later ,,,, I will still let her know but put it like this "Well it was alright,, but I think we can not have it again" or the always correct "Its a keeper!" sometimes I do ask if she was on crack when she made something,, but usually the kids will take care of that and i dont get to take the heat!LOLOL

Maybe she's implying that you are unhealthy...

Lol. Is that the case?

Quinoa is good as long as there is meat with it.

She is off with the protein. Yes it has some but like any grain, loaded with carbs

Tell her to kick bricks if she doesn't like your cuisine

You have a new Vette my man. You don't have to listen to this

You should have kept your mouth shut and kept eating!If you really hated it run to the bathroom and fake a vomit preferably after shes finished eating.:lol:

I was forced to try Quinoa as well. But it is a rice substitute; not a beef substitute....:horse:

While I'm an unabased meat-eater, I will allow that some people do perfectly well with plant-based proteins (even some high-level strength athletes and bodybuilders). I'd look into the amino acid profile of the Quinoa and also (as with any carb), its glycemic index.
