Brown Rice

Hi.  How often do you eat brown rice?

Never.

Almost never. 

I maybe have rice 5-6 times per year - very small quantity - few tablespoons max. 

Sparingly.  Maybe once a month.  And always brown rice (not white).  And in small quantities -- like one-third of a cup.  With lots of protein -- and protein first alway.  Often don't even finish the rice part once I factor in any veggies. 

Same with pasta:  wholewheat, maybe once a month, and in small quantities...maybe half a cup with lots of protein.  Again, usually don't finish all the pasta. 

For me, it's nice to have a few bites occasionally.

No rice for me!

I've had rice noodles in Pho, and Chick Pea pasta (yay for protein filled pasta) but that's it for pasta and rice.  I had bread this week. half a bun. It was fine, but not worth the "cheat".  Won't waste anymore pouch space on bread anytime soon. 

I pretty much never eat rice. I do think whole grain brown rice is a better choice than white rice, but it is not giving you much in the nutrition department either way. Last night my hubby made stuffed peppers and we subbed in extra veggies for the rice (made with ground turkey) - delish, lower carb and never even missed the rice.

Thanks everyone for your replies.
