Is the whole grain in brown rice worth the calories?

It's a trick question. The calories are very similar between both. Eat the one you like more.

I've given up rice completely :sad: brown rice tastes like I'm chewey on bland gravel.. it just kind of rolls around in my mouth and sticks in my throat. Kinda sucks because I used to like white rice. I like the fluffy consistancy. isn't there any other flavorful, healthy fluffy rice out there?? What about the rice they sell in the chinese food stroes? Sticky rice? My co workers have eaten it everyday of their life and they are rail thin.. (yes they are older chinese and tell me constantly it's good for me).. But it's white.. and white is bad right? in carbs/food....

Do you use a rice cooker? I cook my brown rice in one. And I season it with salt pepper and garlic and onions . It is anything but bland. It absolutely amazing!!!!!

How do you cook brown rice? I do it, but not well.
I am from the south so I have no problem cooking white rice.
I have gotten better with the brown rice, but would appreciate any tips.

I cant cook instant rice. but I can cook long rice. I learned from an old Chinese gentleman.To rinse the rice 3 times then only add the cold water to your first nickel on your index finger above the rice before cooking it.bring to a boil then turn the cover the pot and then turn the heat to low for 20 min. then the rice is done.

If you are able to fit one or the other into your daily caloric intake and keep macros inline, eat which ever one you like the most.
