Actually, I thought you meant that the amount of chilli they used for
the meat was too small since this is a Thai dish. That's why I said
that people should figure out their own ratio. I cooked one lb of
meat, putting whatever amount I wanted for the rest of the
ingredients. I also made stir-fried ground chikken w/ basil that day.
I used the two of them alternately the whole week for lunch (everyday)
also with some steam veges and also taking about 1/4 to 1/2 wheat pita
bread to eat with a vegetarian curry (not too much spice actually) I
made with yellow split peas. I also had Thai Tom Yum soup - I eat
this with thin wheat noodle that looks like white vermacelli - though
I didn't take that to work. I also have some egg noodle but this
week, I ate only once so far.

I am going to be making that two thai dishes is every weekend for my
lunch and dinner during the week, and steam some veges for the week +
one vegetarian dish - this week will be the black chickpeas - and one
other soup dish which I haven't figured out what to make this week.

I am stating all this in case the person who wanted some tips on
losing weight comes back and get some cooking idea. Oh, my breakfast
is wheat bread with scrambled eggs - I made my scrambled eggs with
tomatoes only - and 1/2 piece of English muffin and some soy milk. I
also have some cereal but this week, I eat them before going to bed
(if I needed some food).
