White rice

[GymLift]

Obviously brown rice is better, but is white rice a reasonable choice?

 

[luquillo78]

White rice has IG 70 and Brown rice has IG 50. White rice is similar to pasta. Yes it's reasonable source.

it is fine --- once its combined with fats and proteins its a non issue for the most part.

I went kind of crazy with your fried rice idea. Ingredients are white rice, soy sauce, onion, garlic, egg product and frozen peas.

There are more nutritious types of white rice out there--try basmati rice, or jasmine rice--most of the American white rice is nutritionally deficient.

Did you not like it??

I love it. Far better than plain white rice.

I guess my comment was kind of unclear. I make the fried rice often and enjoy it. Not sure if I'm making any big mistakes. For example, are all of the ingredients I am using acceptable?

Yeah, soy sauce is great, but high in sodium. (if you're worried about that kinda thing)

I'd switch out the peas for brocolli

Good suggestion, which I took. And I buy other vegatables (frozen; not ideal but more practical for me). The different vegatables/combination of vegatables give me variety.

I wish I knew the type of and could buy the brown rice that PF Changs/PEI WEI uses. I love that stuff.

Why is this?

mranack can u take out all those abrevations for me, i wanna understand what u said. thanks


also mranack id like your advice and others on carb intake while running low dose gh for about 3-6 months. I was thinking of running it with 100mcg of t4 maybe, due to deepglutes advice but am still researching everything. If i wanted to put on a little size but wanted to lean out what should my carb and fat intake look like. thanks.

sorry to hijack the thread but the questionw was already answered i think.

nothing beats plain white rice, and with chinese restaruants sweet and souron it, it cant be beat

 

[simpllyhuge]

does any one know how they get the rice to be so nice a sticky. the sushi doesnt taste fishy either.

 

[Suareezay]

...it cant be beat

you already said that

They use a higher quality asian rice, uncle bens and most american white rices will never get that sticky consistency. Go to an asian store they will show you which rices are best and it is the least expensive and best rice you can buy.

Simpllyhuge - Don't forget that they use Rice Vinegar that does contain some sugar in addition to the very starchy rice----
