Justin,
I eat about 100 grams (before cooking weight) of white rice at each meal. I rotate between Basmati, Jasmine, and Sushi rice.
I also eat a few plain unsalted rice cakes (3-4 per meal). I prefer the Koyo brand of rice cakes to the Lundberg.
At lunch and dinner I have 100grams of Chicken, Turkey (all white meat, no skin) or Ostrich.
I don't measure the vegetables. I eat as much as I can. I am trying to add more in, but it is difficult, since I have sensitivities to a lot of them.
I eat very little oil, or fat, since it is a major trigger for me. Olive Oil I find to be especially troublesome. The only oil I really tolerate is.......Rice Oil. Surprise  but I do take pharmaceutical grade fish oil capsules for omega 3's.
As you can see, my caloric intake is pretty low. It is probably about 1500kcal per day. I work out hard (monday, I did 500 pushups and 100 chin ups in 45 minutes) and have actually gained muscle on this intake. I hate to say it, but I do attribute that to the balance between the rice and the poultry.
I have a very small bone structure (6.25" wrist) but I have been able to maintain a weight of 140lbs solid. My body fat is about 8 percent.
By the way, cool web site
