White rice is ok?

I thought that white rice was bad though as it contains simple carbs, and that you should only have brown rice? Or is white rice only bad when trying to cut? Thanks, Jez.

I am still not sure why anyone even eats white rice, you may as well just eat the cardboard box it came in. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~

You can slow down the absorption by eating it with fat or protein, rather than on it's own or with other carbs.

This can be a decent thing to use post workout meal...in a pinch if you are not doing a shake for some reason. Other than this, not much use for it. There is some evidence that the "window" actually lasts longer than 1 hr., and as much as 3. So, therefore if you are going to have it I would have it then. I usually for instance have anything I consider "high sugar" for the day in this meal, whether it be a cookie from the health food store, etc. when bulking. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
