Thanks choco-babe. :)

Trying to get it down to 1200 or so.. or whatever is reasonable without hurting myself during the runs.

Dude, u really think a Dosa is 500 cals????? I doubt it can be that HIGH?

Lover of Rice said...

Ooh.. maybe not. What I had is not really a dosa. That is the closest description. It is a thicker version of it. Lavvu and I call it Dibba [fat] Rotti. :D

Based on what goes into dosa I extrapolated it to this one. Do refer to the link I have on the RHS for 'real' calories per food item. Sorry for freaking ya out. :P

hey LOR, I think 1200 cals might be too less, as you are running. I have been reading magazines and 1600 to 1700 cals is a good ballpark cals for our size and height..will try to find some articles on this..
