Food values??????? 20 characters long wtf?

I've been thinking... What are the food value equivalents of various foods?

Say a cow has to eat 30 acres of grass 500 tons to produce 500kg of meat, I think an animal has to eat 10x it's own bodyweight? So what is the relative nutrition of grass, or any vegetable to per weight of meat? It's not a great comparison, cos ruminants don't actually digest the cellulose, they have bacteria in their stomachs which digest the cellulose, and the cows digest the bacteria.

I've herd the Irish once lived soley upon potaters and milk?

nd what about prison food? bread and water, is it possible to survive soley on this?

but what I'm getting at is;how much meat is equal to how much carbo to how much leafy vegetables.

The way I see it, there wood be a mountain of Spinach and greens to a piece of steak, but what about carbs? Just whole grains for the sake of argument, not processed starches?

I'm looking for a new diet for summer, I've already cut out most meat from my diet, I never ate much anyway, it was hard at work, surrounded by tasty treats, sweets and steak etc, I couldn't help myself...The harder I tried to give up meat the hungrier I got!! It's easier at home, cos I actually gotta make myself something, cant just pick at bad foods!

But bread is what I'm thinking about, doing the atkins thing, cutting down the carbs

But i gived up cigarettes too!

Enuff said!

    I just would like to play safe by going to your doctor then be recommended to a dietitian who will really analyze your needs on a case to case basis. That is considering your body mass index as well as your required daily in take of certain food groups..Then your will be monitored as to your progress and if you stick to it, it will be more rewarding. Good Luck.
