Didn't even know rice cakes were still a thing
They were hot in the 80's and 90's.0 -
I’m certainly no expert and new to this forum but as far as what to eat I can tell you what I did and over the past 7 months I have lost 60 pounds and have never been in better shape. I’ll qualify those 50 were hard to loose since I am 6’2 and started at 210lb. I pre make everything on the weekends and put them into Tupperware so it is ready to go. I go by the Costco bags of chicken brests thaw them out. I put them in large zippy bags 6 in each with different marinate. Then I bbq them and add them to the Tupperware with brown rice and that’s 3 of my 5 meals that day. I NEVER snack and only eat planned meals. I have a beer or two on the weekend and I don’t feel like I am going to kill anyone. This usually hits 1500-2k per day depending on dinner but breakfast is my biggest meal and dinner is my smallest with small ones in between. I workout hard every day usually burning around 500 calories.5

Do you like rice cakes? Not to stereotype but you dont really look like the rice cake type. Just asking because although carbs won't sabotage your diet....forcing yourself to eat things you dont like will.
I dont know...maybe you love the rich flavors of rice cake but to me they taste like freeze-dried sadness.6 -
As a type 2 Diabetic, I can tell you Carbs are just sugar waiting to happen. But Rice cakes aren't terribly loaded with them compared to many grain/bread products.
I hope you know the GI on rice cakes are extremely high and the body metabolizes into glucose regardless.....in terms of being a diabetic.1 -
I had to explain rice cakes to my teenager. lol However, in all seriousness, if you like it eat it, if not then don't. If there is something you like more, go for it.1

He doesn't appear to be eating them in isolation (from his description -- I haven't looked at his diary), so I don't think the glycemic index of the rice cakes on their own is all that important.0 -
Who'da thunk it? 3 pages on rice cakes and no has posted the fish and rice cakes guy.......0
