You're not Kai Greene and Jay Cutler, so why base a diet off them then?

Well this is a WEIGHT GAINING & BODYBUILDING thread so I am assuming the people here are into eating clean I would hope lol.....Nothing wrong or "unclean" about white rice, its all I eat when I eat rice. White rice actually digests much easier than brown rice. Nothing not clean about white rice at all.
It's only just become a body building forum - before,it was just weight gain. Some of us are here to gain weight because we're underweight but it seems to me that focus has gone.5 -

you know what happens when you assume, right...?3 -
Just for clarification, the OP (post, not poster) didn't mention anything about bodybuilding. Not that it matters, really.
It did mention building size, mass, muscle. Yeah - eating "clean" is completely not necessary for that. Avoiding sugars, IMO, is fairly "bad" for that.
I don't think many, if any, would disagree that one would (nearly always) look to clean up one's diet and cut out excess carbs during competition prep. But that's not what the OP was about.2 -
Here is the problem with white bread....it has SUGAR. White rice does not. I would avoid white breads if it were me. White rice is fine though
I just made several sourdough loaves with no sugar, just flour, water and salt, although I would normally add 1 tsp per 1-lb loaf. Is that clean? If so, I will add that to our definition of clean foods:
1-lb rustic boule of homemade white sourdough bread with 1 tsp sugar = dirty as sin
1-lb rustic boule of homemade white sourdough bread without 1 tsp of sugar = clean???
Random white rice = clean

If you personally define it as clean, it can be added to the list, LOL. What can be cleaner than the German Purity Law of 1477??

Panera assures me all their foods are clean, so here I am, snackin' on a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel with Honey-Walnut Cream Cheese....clean bulk!!!!)2 -

If you read the thread, these were all definitions that were collected from the MFP forums. Pretty amusing. And even more amusing when someone acts like there is one definition of clean and everyone knows what it is.
My definition of "clean" is raised in my own personal organic garden, nourished by magical fairy rainbows and the poop from the world's most adorable bunnies and ponies, and watered with dew drops and unicorn tears.2 -

Do I have this right?
Polysaccharides (starches including rice, taters, etc) are metabolized into monosaccharides.
Disaccharides (sucrose from fruits and veggies, lactose, etc) are metabolized into monosaccharides.
Non-glucose monosaccharides (fructose, galactose) are eventually metabolized in glucose.
Dehydrated sugar cane (sucrose) is metabolized directly into human body fat. Just because.6
