help, everything i eat is killing me

im wondering how well you need to cook your vegetables. atm i fry them a bit, they go a bit black and are crunchy still. i eat brocooli colliflower cabbage carrot blah blah.

but my sister said you need to cook vegetables properly to maybe break down their cell wall otherwise we dont get anything out of them. (but if you cook them too much then you dont get anything either)

she also said raw potato is poisonous (not that i would ever eat that anyway)

i done a quick google and someone said poorly cooked aubogine/courgette is dangerous/poisonous, someone else said poorly cooked broccolli/colliflower will give you thyroid problems, someone else is saying you have to be a maniac to eat any sort of potato.......... geez........


tldr, i eat half-burnt/half-uncooked crunchy brocolli, colliflower + brussel sprouts very often. should i change this?
(i fry veg quickly in a big frying pan with a bit of oil)

Not sure if this goes here or in another thread in this section, since it ties in, but here goes:

Whenever I work out now, I find myself running low on energy before my work out is even halfway done. What would you guys recommend 1 hour before heading off to exercise for energy? I will not use energy boosters (cause I find that after I run out, I can't do anything at all) and have limited access to protein shakes at the moment. So something homemade/organic, basically.

can someone figure out how many calories in rice?
"1 cup" of rice is like 2 platefuls almost i think - ive been putting in half a mug or less and it looks pretty tiny and then the water makes it become massive
one website says "1 cup" or 186g is 240 kcals which means my huge dollop of rice is only like 120kcal...
then another website says 75g is 260kcal...

I ate only a slice of bread for the first time in a couple of months of doing paleo, and holy shit. I didn't realize how much bloated I felt pre-paleo since I was a bit more tolerant to insulin back then, and there wasn't really a way to compare a day with bread and another day w/o bread since I've been consistently packing processed foods into my body.

Never felt this shitty for a while. I constantly feel bloated, drowsy, and just lazy in general. No more processed foods for me. Ever.

Good thing my anger toward myself overrides this shitty feeling I've had for the past three hours. Gonna go even harder at the gym tonight. fking bread

I always find these perosnal reports really interesting. I haven't had bread in a couple of months but lately have been eating some again, and have not felt any negative effects at all. I had a big pizza lately, after which my stomach felt pretty horrible, though that may just be because the portion was way too big.
