Chicken and brown rice

[JustinSmith52]

I know chicken and brown rice is good to eat when working out. Is it good for cutting? I know the whole idea of cutting is to be in a caloric deficit but do some people eat chicken and brown rice for their meals when cutting?

You already said it, the whole idea is a caloric deficit. Eat whatever you want that has you hitting your macro and calorie goals.

Blah gross brown rice is nasty I like wild or jasmine

But you can eat them when ever. I see people in prep mode for a show with five things cutting in little Tupperwares they carry everywhere to eat every 2-3 hours. Fish/chicken/broccoli/rice-rice crackers/egg whites constantly

I chuckle thinking hmmm my surgery devil carbs were great earlier

If I ever eat chicken with brown rice, then you have permission to shoot me.

Well, personally, brown rice doesn't do anything to satisfy my appetite, so I wouldn't eat it if I wanted to control hungry as much as possible...

Also, you'd be better off focusing on fibrous veggies vs grains if your goal is calorie control. Even potatoes would be more satisfying in general.

What's wrong with rice (accompanying chicken)? One of my favourite easy to cook recipes is honey, soy and white vinegar on chicken thighs, placing it on a dish of uncooked rice and warm water, and baking everything in the oven. The sauce drips on the rice and it's delicious when ready. Haven't tried brown rice to be honest since I use basmati rice.

You ask what's wrong with chicken and brown rice and then go on to say all the sauces you add to it to make it taste good lol. You just answered your own question

I misread - I didn't think he was eating PLAIN chicken with PLAIN rice. Don't think that's sustainable for too long.

Why wouldn't it be good for cutting?

A lot do eat this, but basically what you need is protein + a low glycemic index carb such as brown rice, lenses, oat etc.

That's false. GI is pretty much irrelevant unless you're diabetic.
