If so, how much (per cup)? I tried to google it but kept getting "rice protein" results (as in sites selling protein extracted from rice).
What's the best kind to get? (brown, white etc.)

I'm a big fan of brown rice.
Go to the web site the person above me posted and look at all of the nutrition facts."Once you've taken a few punches and realize you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go."

White rice for post workout, brown for every other time. The organic brown rice that I eat says 3 grams of protein for 1/4 cup (I eat 1/2 cup at a time).

Why are you looking to rice for protein content?

Because, brown rice is a complex carb, while white is a much quicker digesting food (like sugar)Originally Posted by BigZack1428

Really? Then what is the big deal of eatting brown rice (nonsarcastic, curious)? When I joined everyone was recommending to eat brown over white. This was at least in the losing fat section.Originally Posted by Mr. Horse

Brown still has one of the husks on it. Husk vs. no husk is the only difference. The husk has some fiber, nutrients and fat.
I don't know why people get so worked up over brown.

It's NOT a big deal. Brown rice has a slightly lower GI (insignificant, especially in the context of a meal), a bit more fiber, and a bit more vitamins/minerals.Originally Posted by NWAli

Sorry to the OP if you felt I hijacked your post. Oh and im pretty sure using rice as your staple would be a pretty bad idea. For those 5-6g of protein you will be taking in like 45g of carbs. For ~2000 of calories you would be getting 50-60g of protein and 450g of carbs.
Mr. Horse; thats very interesting. Well then white>>>>>brown any day. Fiber and vitamins doesnt sound like it out weighs the taste.
But I am assuming american wheat bread<100% whole wheat bread (nutrciously)? Same with potatoe? Brown/sweet>white?Last edited by NWAli; 04-15-2008 at 07:30 PM.
