    stay off the rice if your trying to lose weight it is very dense in calories and doesn't fill me up much personally but i dont bother with brown rice because i doesn't provide and bonus if the rest of your diet is balanced and the prepossessing isn't bad

    It's not that dense. Peanut butter is dense. Rice, not so much.

    There is very little difference in the nutritional value between white and brown rice (cooked).

    They are both basically a neutral food - apart from converting into glucose for quick energy (which you can get from a multitude of more nutritional sources) it gives very little nutrients back for the cost in calories.

    That being said there is nothing bad about rice and given the choice I take white every time over brown.

    If you've covered your micro nutrients and protein for the day and have calories to fill then rice is as good a source as any.

    Log it and enjoy it!

    yea well thats a form of nuts and your not having peanut butter for dinner but anyway the point of what i was making out of all the carbs to have in a main meal rice shouldn't be to often because it is dense in calories and very easily miss portioned when not in a boil bag,scale,cup or microwave pack
