HisChildForever Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Okay I don't really trust this calculator. My BMI is 19.19 and it's telling me "preferable" but I'm practically underweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMI never gives an accurate picture for me, really, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a vegetarian and don't have a lot of muscle... I think I'm going to work on that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of chickpeas, but I may have to smell of elderberries it up and try that.[/quote] Try starting with dried ones instead of canned. Makes all the difference in the world. The Maya used to plant 3 different seeds in one hole, bean, corn and squash. The corn provided the support for the bean to grow up. The beans are nitrogen fixers which means they absorb nitrogen from the air and put it off as nodules on their roots fertilizing the corn and squash. The squash's leaves covered the ground helping to keep it moist and from drying out in the hot Yucatan sun. Together, corn, beans and squash form a complete protein. It's how the Maya could build such a massive civilization. When I was on mission in Guatemala more years ago that I care to admit, the priest used that example to explain the trinity with the corn as God the father (the foundation), the beans as God the son (the nourisher), and the squash as the Holy Spirit (the protector).
