i usually alternate..but brown rice is better for you since its whole grain

i knew that was coming. i like white rice better it tastes so much better but hey "if it tastes good spit it out" i just finished reading some articles on it and brown rice is the way to go

Brown rice two thums up. I make my brown rice in a rice cooker so I have it on hand all the time.

here goes.....rice is easily digested and safe for those concerned with food allergies. Brown rice is an excellent choice for your bulking. Refined white rice has had the bran and germ removed, which reduces its nutritional value and fiber level. Wild rice and brown rice are better than white rice for body buiilding purposes. Whiteis fine for the everyday joe schmoe... I personally only eat brown. Hope this Helps!!

Brown without a doubt!

A few times recently I have heard about the benifits of using white rice as part of a pre contest diet, due to the fact it is faster burning that other varieties! I am trying this at the moment, but cannot give a definitive answer yet, as to weather the above is true! Any other views on this?

White is high gi, stay away from it except post-workout. Never heard about using white rice in pre-contest.

yeah the only time that it might be beneficial to eat white rice is post workout like freak said. this is because white rice is a faster digesting carb than brown which is slower. and post workout you would rather have faster digesting carbs.

Does anyone know where i can get a big bag of brown rice. My family hasd always grabbed the huge ass bags from the asian supermarkets and its been convenient for cooking because u can just scoop it out of a buckey. I find however that brown rice only comes in small bags like those uncle ben bags. any suggestions on where i can find large bags of brown and wild rice?

Not really sure if I would buy food off ebay but:

BROWN RICE - 25 LBS - AMISH GROCERY BULK FOODS - (eBay item 280136493320 end time Aug-21-07 06:04:22 PDT)

Amazon usually has grains in bulk sizes too.

white rice are simple carbs, brown rice complex carbs. White rice give you energy now, but brown rice give you long time energy. Only eat white rice post workout, to help with protein absorbtion
