Whole-grain brown rice — fiber-bearing version of white rice.

Slower-digesting than white. Slightly fewer calories per gram cooked. Better for steady energy meals; white rice better post-workout.

Best for

  • training days and glycogen refill — 26g carbs / 100g
  • budget meals where cheap energy density matters

Watch out

  • portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
  • sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink

How to log it

Weigh cooked brown rice (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup cooked (~195g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
