Iv heard mixed things regarding white rice so...your thoughts??

    White rice is better tastewise and arguably nutritionally as well

    What are your goals?

    Simply weight loss? It's fine.. eat whatever you want, just keep your overall diet fairly balanced with a reasonable total calorie intake.

    brown rice has slightly more nutritional value in RE to fiber and what not than white rice...white rice tastes better and is a better energy source IMHO

    I'm not a ricist. I eat both. I prefer the taste of brown, though.

    Rice is good. Eat it in moderation. White or brown, doesn't matter. Yes there are differences and arguments can be made of why one is better for you than the other, but in moderation it just really isn't going to matter.

    I eat white rice because I don't like the texture of brown rice. I'm sure brown rice is better for you though, more vitamins and fibre.

    News flash: no food is the devil. Even when it is considered (GASP!!!) a carb.

    I can't cook brown rice. I fail at it SO hard. I burn it, every time. Or it ends up crunchy...sometimes both? I love white rice. It doesn't matter what rice you like, it's about the macros and your calorie limit. If you're in a calorie deficit you will lose weight :P

    I'm not sure what I prefer more for a pre-ride carb load...it's a pretty close tie between white rice and a big *kitten* plate of pasta.

    I've never been a huge fan of white rice. I prefer the nutty flavor of a whole grain rice, and I try to eat high fiber, so that's what I always prepare at home. Except for sushi. I'm prefer white rice for sushi. But if I'm out and white is served, I eat it.

    I have recently discovered black rice and like the taste of it as well, so I've been making it sometimes. Black doensn't work in all dishes because it tends to turn everything in the dish a purplish black. It doesn't affect the taste, but looks odd sometimes.

    For nutritional value black would win, I think.

    I prefer brown rice, I like the taste :laugh:

    That said, I don't eat it often because of the carbs (I'm diabetic). I can have 2 slices of bread (Healthy Life) and get 3 times the fiber and less carbs.

    All I can think of are racist curry jokes.

    There are so many different kinds of rice. White, brown, jasmine, basmati... does anyone know what the differences are as far as flavor and nutritional value? I prefer white rice over brown as far as flavor goes, and jasmine rice over all because I think it's magical (I can't cook rice if my life depended on it, but somehow I can make jasmine rice flawlessy every time).
