[JOHN MATRIX]

which of these is better for the person trying to make their muscles bigger? what are the comparative advantages/disadvantages of them?
i have always liked potatos since they dont bloat you up but is rice better?

[candidizzle]

no differece.

well sweet potato is a bit slower digesting, and red potato a little bit slower still.

but rice = potatoe

 most of the time

Brown Rice and Sweet Potatoes or yams are better than white potatoes if you are trying to lean out a bit.

White Rice and white potatoes can be great for those trying to gain weight, a bit higher glycemic. They all are complex carbs and variety is a good thing with nutrition

busyb  if you look up brown rice verse white rice they are almost identical for glycemic load ! only one gram difference of fiber content for every 30 or so grams total carbs... and fiber content is what dictates digestion rate (which im sure you already know)...   so in actuality while common sense would say brown rice is better in fact there is no real tangible difference between the two.

I don't just google and look things up candi, I went to school instead...but thanks for the offer.

So, then tell me why when bodybuilders diet, they don't eat white rice? Why would an RD recommend an obese individual switch from white to brown rice?

I would love to eat white rice while dieting, but that just does not happen kid.

whoa

calm down


the glycemic load is almost identical, busyb.
so the rate of digestion and how each version of rice effects yoru body is going to be practicly one and the same.
i thought you would think that was funny and cool to know... like i said.. 'common sense would dictate that brown rice would be the btter choice"...

but you know what ? alot of bodybuilders diet exclusively on white rice for carbs ! i know of one top state bb'er here in cali who eats white rice up to the day of a show. and i think alex azarian once said that he does the same thing.

There's a broad range of GI and GL for "white rice" and "brown rice."  Type it in.
