All above is true etc still tastes awful . They dont Eat Brown Rice in india Not the fattest nation in the world.

Brown Rice is healthier according to the experts because it takes longer to digest and doesn't just turn into glucose in the bloodstream or something like that. I do know that I tried to do wild rice which was like eating twigs and very Earthy in a bad way. Brown rice is better but still hard and has more of a crunch to it. It tastes horrible on it's own in my opinion (sort of like smelly gym socks and cardboard). I stick to eating white rice because lets face it ... it's worth the extra calories if you care about taste. I try to add a salad to dinner if I have a rice side dish to help me limit how much of it I eat.

whatever you do, do not eat basmati rice. it's loaded with calories.

brown rice is more earthy than white rice, and i typically prefer it over white. the texture isn't quite as mushy, and tends to keep you full for longer, too.

Basmati rice is no higher in calories than other rice.

Short grain brown rice is a bit harder to find than long grain brown rice, but I think it tastes much better!

Eating white rice has the nutritional equivalent of eating a tissue; there is nothing in white rice for your body to use, but it still comes with calories. The MyFitnessPal database gives different types of brown rice 150-218 calories per cup of cooked rice.

Brown rice has a slightly nutty flavor. Throw some spices in! Spices don't have any calories, and a little seasoned salt makes a HUGE difference! A bouillon cube in the pot adds a bit more fat and sodium, but a ton of flavor. Spicy spices (Mexican, Indian, etc) make it delicious. Take a look at Zatarain's rice kits to get some ideas of what you can do.

I think the big difference here is eating plain rice to eat rice (boring), when rice should be a complementing part of the dish you are eating. Rice is not quite like pasta, which can stand alone. Rice is there to provide a base, and soak up sauces and flavors. Try it under stir-frys, or try some ethnic dishes like rice and beans, or Spanish rice.

I eat brown rice everyday because is so damn cheap and i shop on a tight budget. But i don't mind telling you that the minute i find an alternative to it, it's gone from my diet. Everyone goes on and on about how it's whole grain and rich in fiber, but i think that's greatly overstated. Out of the great 35g of carbs you get from a tiny serving you only get about 4g of fiber. You are better off making a stir-fry with some protein and veggies instead especially if you're watching your carb intake. If not, then knock yourself out, I suppose it's still way better than eating white rice.... Just my 2 cents

brown rice is better for you than white rice, & it's lower in calories too.
