What's THE Carb Of Choice When Dieting???

[JKurz1]

I can't eat oats and I will take white rice over brown rice most of the time.

As for fiber and GI index

Based on 1/2 cup

White rice
Fiber - 2.0
GI - 81

Brown rice
Fiber - 5.5
GI - 79


For me personally - I eat so much spinach and sometimes broccoli I don't feel I have to worry about the difference in fiber between white and brown.

That said - Yams, although the GI is higher are also high in fiber.

Yams (1 med)
Fiber - 6.8
GI - 156


I don't think one can say ONE carb is best without looking at the total package one's diet and current goals.

FYI - a yam is not 156 in the gi rating lol..........re-check your source.

Yeah but the brown rice from a Chinese food place is shit.

Oh, well the one by me is really good - fluffy and soft.

Most people can't cook rice rice so bad chinese could be an improvement.

LOL

Why is brown rice from a chinese food place shit? They just have it steamed in a big huge metal container? No difference to me.
