I thought that rice would be higher than oats as well. I do have quite a lot of oats though. Tend to have pasta for solid meals and sometimes rice and then I mix in some ground oats into a shake...

Yes, well my understanding is that it is, however because of the way it has been processed it is lower GI and better for you than standard white rice which is very high GI. Not that GI is the be all...

Everyones different I suppose but interesting. My appetite is quite small and it doesn't take an awful lot to fill me up so I have lots of small meals.

What do other people think - Rice or...

Also do you think the weight of 100g of cooked pasta is different to 100g of cooked rice or will it be much the same. Pasta definitely seems to be more volume. I wondered if that is down to the...

So bearing in mind the volume of pasta compared to rice do you think pasta would keep you full longer than rice?

I have a lot of pasta at the moment but when I start bulking again in a few weeks I...

So are there any rice lovers out there that eat it rather than pasta for any reason other than taste and not needing a sauce?

That's a good point actually touchofevil04 relating to the sauce. Personally a like to add a small amount of sauce to either however if I was cutting really strictly then I'm not sure I could eat my...

Simmo0508 - I am expecting that answer from lots of people however what I am really interested in is why people eat more rice? Do you have any reason or is it just down to taste?

Hi,

Now I have asked quite a few people about this down the gym and nearly everyone says that rice is better than pasta however I cannot see why it is any better.

After searching the internet...

Iv been to a chripractor a few times for an adjustment and while they adjusted it and it helped for that day, it soon went back to its previous incorrect position. I now go to an Osteopath which...

Thanks for the advice people. I think what I will do then is add in some light cardio 3 times a week, maybe just on the end of my weight lifting sessions for now. Will also limit simple carbs,...

Hi all,

Looking at myself in the mirror and thinking I have put on quite a bit of fat over the last year. A year ago I was 50lbs lighter but by bodyfat was probably around 7% and I would estimate...

Yes that would be a good idea. Protein is obviously very important and it is good you are getting lots at the moment, however without excess calories you will struggle bulking unless you are a real...

I think the overall number of calories in your current diet is about right for your height and weight considering you are an ectomorph, however that works out an average of nearly 800 calories per...

Well if your bulking up a weightgainer makes sense.

As far as the different types of protein goes, if you are eating every 2.5-3 hours (which you seem to be from the diet above) then have a...

Also it isn't a good idea to have more than a couple of cans of tuna a week, which I know a lot of people don't realise. This is due to the high mercury content that can cause health problems.

It depends on your body type and how easily you gain fat however I would guess at that weight you have a fairly low bodyfat. If you are an ectomorph then I would recommend something around 3500...

Hi Taichichuan. Well to be exact I have gained 48lbs in 13 months (all natural). I have the before and after progress pics on my bodyspace should you want to see -...
