This may seem like a stupid question. But will white rice make you fat?
I eat a lot of it lately. Rice and chicken, rice and pork, rice with soup, with tuna etc. I usually use 1 cup to go with whatever Im making. Not every day but at least 4 times a week.
Its Kraft Complete Minute rice. White rice that is. I noticed it has 36g of carbs.
That worries me being a newbie. I dont know what to believe about carbs.
I stay full for a long time eating like this. So I tend to eat less.
Any advice would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance.

There really is no single food that going to make you fat. There are many factors that determine whether you put on fat or not.
That being said white rice is a decent carb source, not as many nutrients as brown rice but still good. The GI doesn't matter unless you are eating it alone and in a fasted state. As soon as you combine it with protein and/or fat it slows the absorbtion.

Only eat it after workouts. Basmati rice and brown rice is lower GI and is better for sustained energy, but white rice tends to affect insulin levels more. This is why it is perfect post-workout, when the insulin release will 'shuttle' the nutrients to your muscles. Any other time of day, insulin can store excess high glycemic/GI carbs as bodyfat

Generally, if you are eating white rice with protein and fats this should slow down the absorption making the high GI kind of irrelevant. I have no problems eating white or brown rice, I just prefer the taste of brown and find it more filling.

rippd said it best earlier in the thread,
"There really is no single food that going to make you fat. There are many factors that determine whether you put on fat or not."
^^this is pretty much the long grain & the short grain of it. a food's GI has very little correlation with its lipogenic potential.
max, i suggest you check out this research-based (as opposed to opinion-based) article i wrote some time ago about the pitfalls of GI, & why i don't put much stock into it at all:

When I went to Vietnam for vacation (and Korea as well), I lost 5 lbs just a little over a month. I know it wasn't fat because I ate just as much as before, but I had mostly carbohydrates and little meat.

Since someone already bumped the crap out of this 5 year old thread. Alan I didn't read your article but is your argument the same as is being made today that GI is altered when you introduce protein/fats to carbs and is therefore unreliable for these purposes? Or is your argument based on other problems regarding GI?

It's really crazy to think that the time between the 2004-2009 bump is the same as the time between the 2009 bump and now.
