Mashed potatoes or white rice?
Replies

they are pretty close in calories and nutrition or should I say no nutrition. truly I am getting away from the carby sides and just making two vegies or sometims three or a side salad instead. I use to think we needed a potatoe/rice/noodles side and also a pc of bread/rolls with dinner but now I just make the two or three veg sides and its way more filing and less calories.
I don't think we need potato/rice/ noodles/ bread with dinner - or any time if we don't want to.
But to say they have no nutrition is just silly.
Plenty of nutritious value in rice and potatoes.
There is very little micro nutrient value in rice white or brown for the calorie cost.
It's basically junk food. That's not to say that if you've covered your micro nutrient bases and hit your protein goal they can't be part of a balanced and healthy diet.
I like both and eat both, but I also know that apart from a glucose hit to the system, it delivers not much else!
Eat it, log it enjoy it!0 -
White carbs are scientifically proven to be strored as fat straight away, even when eaten in what some would call "caloric deficit". You have to eat brown rice and brown potatos. Or you can mash your potatoes with something dark, that will do the trick
That's funny. Bahahahaha0 -

Bull. ****. This is ****ing retarded.
RD4L. Damn.
Oh, OP, I'd say it depends on the rice; white rice is pretty lacking save the vitamind they sprinkle on or however that works.0 -

Lol, What!?
Something dark...like chocolate syrup? or molasses? a pint of guiness?
Thank god you've found the secret to losing weight :noway:
Yep that's where my mind went and the thought of potatoes mashed with dark chocolate nearly made me hurl
I can only hope that was a troll.
IDK - mashed potatoes with Guinness sounds lovely. And, in the same vein, am intrigued by the idea of mashed potatoes with marmite.
(But there again, I love salad cream spread on cream crackers. So I'm probably not the best judge of what tastes go with what...)
OP: Another vote for whatever works for you. Personally, I'd go with the mash as I'm not sure jasmine rice would work with the barbeque sauce. (But again, see my comment above... :laugh:)0 -

I love mash and marmite! but I also eat porridge with marmite :laugh: and my sister loves salad cream sandwiches which is salad cream and crackers inbetween cheap white bread!0 -

So you must be in the love category then.0 -

Gravy? I could defiantly darken them up with some brown gravy. Yea, that would make them calorie free. I think?0 -

not if you're eating at a deficit. i eat mashed potatoes all the time - although only a single serving at a time - and i keep on losing a pound a week, every week.both are high gi, therefore your insulin will spike and then you will store fat.0

Some years ago there was a restaurant in Chicago called Mashed Potato Company that basically did entries that were potatoes mixed with stuff. I think the sweeter ones, including the chocolate-based ones, were sweet potato based, typically. You could have mashed potatoes with stuff as the entrée and then sweet potato with sweet stuff as the dessert.0 -
Thanks everyone! I ended up taking a small portion of mashed potatoes and I made a curry sauce instead of BBQ sauce with my chicken!0

You should stop think in terms of what is worse for you, and just start eating what you like, and making it fit your goals. If you like mashed potatoes better with fried chicken, the do that. Don't sacrifice because somebody somewhere told you carbs make you fat.0

Well that depends, I make my mashed potatoes with 50% butter, 50% potato.

I think you're making this a little more complicated than it has to be.
Relax a little.
It'll be fine whichever one you choose.
There is more to life than obsessing over potatoes and rice.
Choose one. Portion out an amount that will fit into your daily allowance.
And boom. Done. Eat. And enjoy.
No regrets.
^^^This!!
Unless you are low carbing you don't need to worry one or the other. Its all about portion control. Brown rice & sweet potatoes are said to be more healthy. But you still end up with the same macro structure.0 -

Not that I think anyone cares, but I realized right after I wrote this that the right name was the Mashed Potato Club. That's why I couldn't find it on the internet.
Here's an article about the former restaurant: http://www.chibarproject.com/Memoriam/MashedPotatoClub/MashedPotatoClub.htm
I'd forgotten it also was a martini bar, but everything was around that time. It was a bizarre place.0 -
To clarify a bit, the rice was boiled in water and then drained. The mashed potatoes were peeled and milk, butter and a little salt was added in!
I plan to fry some chicken breast meat in 1 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil to eat with either rice or mashed potatoes topped with just a bit of BBQ sauce for flavor!
For gosh sakes why would you have to drain Jasmine rice? 2:1 ratio water:rice, bring to a boil, set to min, cook for 15 min, turn off burner, set timer for another 15 min. fluff rice with fork and serve.
Easiest rice ever.0 -

Um. No.
Great argument, just no. Do you even squat bro I have nothing to say0 -
Our bodies have adapted to store white COLOURED carbs as fat since white sugary substance was only available food on many planets, through which the reptilian species (who will later become humans, well, with some help of aliens of course)migrated , and during long flights they would go monthes without food so the bodies would save it as fat and not waste on energy, heating, etc. Before reptilians came to earth many milleniums were spent in space during which time this biological feature developed, now we suffer for our incestors, YES CHOCOLATE SYRUP WILL HELP!0
