so I ate some brown long grain rice last night. Plugged it into fitday and to my surprise it was very calorie dense and loaded with carbs. While I knew it had carbs I was shocked to see how many calories it has. My fault for being surprised I guess. I should read labels closer. But I was always told this is very good for you.

Please explain. Is this something I should minimize while cutting or is it actually quite good for you?

thanks in advance

Nothing wrong with carbs whilst cutting! Nothing at all.

Thats my piece said.

It's definitely good for you, but i would try to minimize it if you are cutting, having it only in the few hours after your workout, when your body can best utilize the carbs.
 
It's good for you and calorie dense. Nothing wrong with it as long as you work it into your diet. I live on the stuff
 
P.S.
Don't forget to account for the water in the rice or you'll overestimate calories. The rice I use is about .36 cups dry per cooked cup (just measure out before and after and divide.....a pain in the ass, but you only have to do it once...for each type/brand
 
you find out how many cals there is in each g of uncooked rice (no water) weigh your rice before you boil it, and you're all set. I usually use 150g of uncooked rice.

You know that might be what I screwed up. LOL

Ok time to refigure.

You all have my permission to call me a moron.:D

Yeah, that works if you only cook what you eat right then, but I make a huge pot for the week.


Kraken,You might have done it wrong, but it's still very calorie dense, you need to plan carefully if you don't want to go over your calories


FYI most pasta I've tested is pretty close to half water/half pasta (in weight) when cooked
