[@botzer8817]

Yes, he's completely wrong. Brown rice has much more zinc and b vitamins, much more than white rice. And yes, fibers are GREAT for your health and for your gains, because it lowers glycemic index (lower insulin spike). White rice is not nutritious at all in terms of micronutrients.

[@LastAphelion]

Try haiga rice. Its 70% milled japanese shortgrain, it gets rid of the outer layer of brown that can taste the most cardboardy, but it still leaves some on and includes the germ. So you're more likely to enjoy more of it and not feel like a chore. Try Tamaki brand is saving money, or Rice Factory from NY if you want peak flavor fresh milled to order. We order 10-15 pounds from the Rice Factory every 2 months, we love them! Their full brown does taste better and fresher than anyone else's too

That fiber is important AF tho

[@AguyR1401]

No not really. Fiber merely creates poop because it is indigestible plant matter and need to be expelled quickly. It's part of the reason why nutrients are difficult (if at all possible) to be absorbed from plant matter. Fiber is not friendly on the gut and is why Gastroenterologist's advice against all fiber in patients who are leading up to, or returning from, colorectal surgery, or who are experiencing general bowel distress. A life without fiber does not lead to constipation, as the fat being consumed from one's diet (in addition to proper hydration) will soften the stool appropriately, nor will the colon be bombarded by a jam from excess (and unnecessary) amounts of fiber stool.

So, white rice if you're trying to bulk up? But brown rice if you're trying to lose weight?

[@IntegraDIY]

I ditched rice and substitute with potato and red beans.. red beans has 18 G protein in just half cup and only 140 calories.. potatoes are loaded with potassium which is great for the body. Rice is just a dead filler to me and I can eat loads of it which is bad. I rather eat more delicious foods than to take up half my daily calorie allowance with rice. Good pre workout meal, but even then cream of rice is more delicious.

[@pedrogouveia4326]

lentils has 25g of p and about the same calories

[@kelgbrown007]

Beans are not a complete protein. One of the reasons to pair rice with beans is make it a complete protein. Rice has 4 of elements beans are missing to be a complete protein

[@77dris]

BINGO! Rice is almost devoid of any nutrients. It's about the same nutrient and satiety level as table sugar (not exaggerating). It's one of the worse foods you can use on a diet. Potatoes are the exact opposite. They are one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, and they also are considered the most satiating food you can eat (boiled, baked, microwaved). Eating rice as a staple while dieting to me is like some sort of forced torture.

[@IntegraDIY]

@@pedrogouveia4326 I absolutely love lentils. But they’re more of a special dish for me..with green chili sauce, and chunks of ham, all boiled with a ham bone inside the pot.. red beans can be eating anytime.. with morning eggs, as a side with turkey or chicken, dinner etc all week long.. and you can refry the beans and pop them in a thick ham sandwich with avocado and light mayo🥑..delicious. but lentils are a gift from god 👌

[@IntegraDIY]

@@77dris exactly right 🙌 one 130g potato with a side of meat gets me full, I could have the same amount in rice and be starving after.. which will cause over eating. I think they’re very underrated for the people just getting into the healthy fit lifestyle

Obviously, you mix other things with it when you eat it. But those additions are the nutritious things. Having 1-6% of your RDA for a micronutrient does not count as being "super nutritious".
