Shrimp, Mango & Coconut Pilaf

Easy and Delicious, This Shrimp, Mango, and Coconut Pilaf Will Fill You Up with Exotic Flavours

Pilaf is surely one of the most consumed grains in the world. Some people are however scared to include this rice in their diet because of its carbohydrate content. Yet, there’s no need to worry. It’s mostly a question of eating the right quantity. A standard lunch or dinner should provide between 50 and 80 g of carbohydrates, depending on your physical activity level, sex, and height. Admittedly, a man can eat slightly larger portions of starches and proteins.

As for vegetables, don’t shy away from filling your plate with them! Since they have few calories, they are ideal to increase the volume of your meal without seriously impacting the calorie total. You don’t need to memorize the numbers, but simply remember these key elements concerning serving sizes: a balanced meal should contain between 90 and 120 g of meat / poultry / fish— or about 1 cup of legumes or plant-based protein—, 125 ml (½ cup) of starches such as rice, pastas, or other cereals, and a mountain of vegetables.
