Brown Rice?

[deathdroprob]

I just got into the habbit of makin brown rice.
Just wondering if its good for an only carb source when cutting (apart from Post Workout and Post Cardio? WM).
And how much would I be aiming for.
It says its like 70 grams (I think) of carbs per 100 grams of rice, so would I use less than 100 grams?
Also should I use brown rice while cutting or is their somthing better I should be using? I wouldnt be using Oats just incase someone sugests it.


Infact as a rule how many grams of carbs should you have with a meal and post workout meal whilst cutting.
PS Im not cutting yet, I just want to know everything that Im doing when I do.

Hey Rob:

my carb advice is whilst cutting best carbs are low GI, polysaccharides
- oats, barley, legumes, sweet potatoes, yams, brown rice.
- higher GI carbs (white potatoes, pumpkin (US call it butternut squash) after exercise OK

Personally, I'd reserve ur carbs for PWO or post cardio, and go 50-70 grams of carbs, depending on ur sensitivity, but restrict carbs to low amounts in other meals (<20), although u could do higher pre-weights or breakfast (low GI ones).

WM fine PWO of course too - but if ur one to get hungry, butternut squash would have highest satiety per calorie

thanks Sim, I was thinking maybe Breakfast: 40 grams of carbs from brown rice then no more carbs that day on non lifting days, then on lifting have 40 grams of carbs from brown rice with brakfast the 20 grams with each meal until PM, then ovcoarse WM PWO.

Can I ask, Im not to good with fat sources, (PB is my main source haha), what should I be using for a main fat source and how many grams of fat per meal?

I wouldn't have the discipline to keep PB or cashews in the house if I was cutting (I have on many occasions consumed 1/2 kilo + of cashews - suprisingly with little negative consequences)

Most nuts (almonds probably the best), fatty fish (do you like salmon), fish oil, flaxseed, avocadao, EVOO, whole eggs, some seeds (some have to much omega 6), and some argue MCT or coconut oil.

In terms of assisting fat loss, fish oil (omega 3) may do a bit but its not that significant according to the studies, although its good for general health. Some argue MCT oil assists fat loss, but I'm not aware of any studies on point

Personally, I'd aim for 20-30% of your cals as fat (whatever that is) and basically set up your meals so there P + F or P + C whilst cutting. 15% would be minimum

I include whole eggs because the cholestoral apparently boosts testosterone. Plus scrambled eggs taste good, even if its only 3 whole + 6 whites (salt makes anything taste good)

I think my minicut last year was

(1) whey then morning cardio
(2) oats + whey/casein blend or kangaroo + pumpkin
(3 & 4) salmon + cabbage
(5) mixed veggies (1/2 kilo), whole eggs, kangaroo
(6) (PWO) oats + casein/whey blend

Not an idea PWO meal, but I was more concerned with waking up in the middle of the night hungry more than anything else, so waxy & whey, and then casein shake seemed too risky for me

And if you want a nice sweet - try 100% cocoa and splenda or stevia. No sugar and tastes suprisingly good. Apparently, cocoa acts as a nitric oxide agent, so I have cocoa + splenda + dash skim milk pre workout now too

start cooking your food in virgin coconut oil
