Which is better white rice or brown rice?

When it comes to the debate between white rice and brown rice, my vote is that I'll have another beer.

:laugh:

:drinker:

Or sake - probably my favourite form of rice, closely followed by Thai jasmine rice, then Japanese rice.

Fried rice! Oh wait you mean healthier

LOL Made me laugh!

I always thought that white rice never had that nutritional vale to it. Reading some arguments on here had me question that theory. Opinions on this or corrections on this?

I went for a few years thinking bad things about white rice. The worst part about that was that I was living in Japan at the time. Then the obvious hit me. It's food and it has a specific nutritional profile. If that profile fits within your day's goals and you want it, then enjoy. If not, then don't. It's that simple.

Thanks for the input! Haha-Wrong place to hate white rice....What kind of foods did you eat?

Honestly, a good mix of everything after I chilled the hell out. I didn't start really calorie counting until my last year there and even then I wasn't doing it quite right, but I made sure I ate a variety of foods, including plenty of fish and chicken. I had friends that couldn't relax and enjoy a decent meal because they wouldn't drink sake or eat white rice because it would "destroy their diets." I want to be as fit as I can be without destroying my love for life, social occasions, and trying new things.
