Do all Autistics like chicken nuggets?

Why not just switch to tempura vegetables? When I was a vegetarian for two years because of a health issue, one of my favorite things was to use various vegetables for a tempura.

Cauliflower should work good for that. Also, things like great beans, okra, carrots, broccoli florets, mushrooms, sliced squash, and sliced onions.

a dirty little secret, revealed- eating fat doesn't automatically translate into GETTING fat. SUGAR is the thing that is primo fattening. excess sugar consumption has the bad diabetes rap not because it automatically causes diabetes but it leads inexorably to bariatric conditions which ARE linked to eventually becoming class-II diabetic. and since sugar hides in so many different things, the only way one can make sure one isn't eating more than a bit of it, is to stick to single-ingredient foods you assemble yourself. your dietitian is prolly not educated in this regard, nutritional science in this country is backwards by and large. but you can be sure that whole wheat is not a savior compared to white bread. white foods in general are not healthy. sugar, wheat, white rice, corn, oats, white potatoes, pasta all equal white food. if you have resistant overweight condition, chances are it will be less resistant if you give up all white foods. now if you have an un-dx'ed mold condition in your living space, that is the #2 cause of overweight, as the body traps toxins in body fat. mold conditions are very common in most older house construction. I am sure I have it in my ancient tin can. and I also weigh more than I should, but the key measurement of health versus less health, is having a waist size smaller than 40" if you're much over 6' tall, or 35" if much under 6." if you avoid the white foods, and do nothing else, chances are that your waist size will fall under that limit over time, as your body naturally starts burning off its fat stores. that is what happened to me. YMMV of course, but not by that much from what I've seen of other people who followed the recommendation.
recommended dietary substitutions-
replace sugar with stevia, amaranth or buckwheat for wheat products, brown or wild for white rice, quinoa for oats, sweet or yam potatoes for white/red, shirataki noodles for pasta.

I'm planning on fixing some bite sized breaded chicken pieces for supper tonight with a sawmill gravy.

I'm not sure what to make with it. Perhaps some field peas and mashed potatoes. Also Texas Toast.

I don't know about you guys but chicken nuggets are like crack to me. I can't have just one I have to have like 50 in order to get my fill and satiate the desire.

Chicken. Nuggets. Are. Crazy. Awesome.

Maybe this IS an Autistic thing? Who knows!

I went to the grocery store and got a gallon of milk and 15 eggs. Actually, I got 18, but I was distracted and dropped the carton of eggs about a foot. Three of them broke.

Of the three broken eggs, I gave two to the dog (she really appreciated that). The one in the best shape with the shell slightly cracked and the membrane okay, I cracked into a bowl and stirred it up to use in making my version of chicken nuggets.

The chicken is now resting after having been egged and floured (with pepper and salt in the flour) and is resting for half an hour before I continue with cooking.

My next step is to choose a vegetable (too late for field peas) to go with it and also start cooking a smallish potato to use in mashed potatoes. I usually have three or four bags of various frozen vegetables in the freezer so I shouldn't have much problem with the vegetable.

In about an hour, I'll be stuffed after eating more than I should have.

I'm not fond of battered food.
Or crumbed, really.
If I "crumb" something it will not be with breadcrumbs.

Dammit, why did you have to mention chicken nuggets, I have no car anymore and Macas is miles away.

That's good advice. I have an aversion to sugar and like to eliminate it as much as possible. I like black rice (also called forbidden rice). It can be gotten for a more reasonable price at public markets that sell stuff out of bins. Good place to get quinoa in bulk too. Didn't know about shirataki noodles. I'll give those a try.

I had some chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce this morning and now I have really bad indigestion.

I got some marked down mushroom "chik'n"meat nuggets [fake meat made out of mycoprotein and seitan called "Quorn"] that ain't half bad other than it has a lot of sodium in it.

No. I don’t hate them but I don’t love them. They’re okay. I way prefer boneless chicken breast, chicken wings, and chicken legs.

in my heaven when I matriculate there, I will encounter endless buffet lines featuring teriyaki chicken and beef nuggets, BBQ chicken and beef nuggets, bacon and teriyaki nuggets, BBQ bacon nuggets, seaweed teriyaki and salmon nuggets, cheese and beef/chicken nuggets, teriyaki tuna nuggets, enough to last me a while.

Sounds like heaven to me! Yum yum!

mebbe we'll meet at one of the buffet tables therein
