So I’m trying to get fit — I’m already fit but trying to optimize it, you know? But generally had never looked into food and stuff.
Most nights I make a concoction of rice and ground turkey. Today the ratio was 1.5 lbs of ground turkey to 2 cups of (unboiled) white rice, which obviously expands to about 3 times it’s volume, so equivalently was 6 cups of rice. I didn’t eat all of this in one sitting, but it’s good for about 2 dinners for me.
I was reading about calories, and the rice has a lot of calories while the turkey somehow has very little. But then the rice is also a carbohydrate? I know these things fundamentally, but now I’m at the point of trying to understand and apply that knowledge.
Can someone what these things are?

Don’t complicate things. All you should focus on if trying to get fit is calories and protein.
Try to get enough protein without exceeding your daily caloric intake to suit your goal.
