Is eating rice (small servings) 2 times a day...

[Thorough_Bred]

Bad?, I have heard that rice is generally not healthy? should I lay-off from my normal 2 servings or completely lay off of it...which will be close to impossible lmfao

small servings of BROWN rice is actually very good for you. Its a good starchy carb. When i eat it i eat it early in the day to use for energy. Don't go overboard yeah, but good for you indeed.

I dont eat brown rice though? I eat white rice...does brown rice taste alright?

I only eat carbs at dinnertime.

How about white rice though, should I completely not eat it?

Whats that do?

White rice is the processed version of brown rice. Although it’s still technically a starchy complex carbohydrate, the white rice burns faster and has been stripped of much of its nutritional value. When you’re on a very strict fat loss diet, stick with the slow-cooking brown rice for best results.

It makes me eat more vegs and fruits. And it allows me to be full enough at night that I don't snack.

dont carbs at night put on weight? I mean excess carbs that is. But what about breakfast, don't you have carbs then?

 

[LiveFromNY]

i have yogurt and coffee for breakfast.

I have whole wheat bagel with fat-free cream cheese (sometimes lite cream cheese) for breakfast.

From the things i have read the rule of thumb is strachy carbs (rice, bread, potatoes) early in the day and fiberous carbs (veggies) at night. Thats how i have been doing it anyway. I stop my starch on my 3rd meal.
