6. I will try that, when the second phase of the diet begins

At that point, I can add starchier veggies like dried beans and carrots. I love chickpeas as hummus, or cooked whole.

I've already cheated, though, by using mung bean threads (cellophane noodles) in a stuffed pepper filling. I'm still working out the recipe, but it's basically a Vietnamese egg roll filling in a pepper case. It's pretty good now, but I'm still using too little veg in proportion to the meat. There's not much noodles, just enough to help the texture. And next time, I'm going to try some poblanos or anaheims instead of red bells. If they're smaller, it just means 2 per serving.
