Actually that was probably me on the rice but don't worry, we aint so exact
here.

I learned to bake meatballs due to needing to reduce the fat.  I have a sort of
grate that sits over the pan which catches the drippings and it works well. 
Janis posted one with more minimal crumbs (2 slices of bread to a 1lb of beef I
think) and that should work well.

You might want to note that the recipes that use less crumbs/carbs, also dont
use as much liquid added as they do not have the 'breading' to soak up as much
of that.

For the rice versions, you add that liquid component to the rice as it cooks
and let that add the flavor as the rice soaks it in.  The rice version is a bit
more 'crumbly' than the bread version but the taste is just fine and sometimes
you have to give over a bit on one aspect for health reasons.
