If you want to reduce weight, whole grain rice is a great food option for a healthy weight loss diet, as it has a reasonably low calorie-content and a high satiety value. In fact, calorie-controlled diets recommend a regular intake of rice. In addition to energy content, nutrition is also important, as a nutritious diet helps the body to burn calories faster and maintains a healthy metabolism. Therefore as well as counting calories, check food labels for nutritional value. Nutritional and energy values provided on most of the above food pages include: vitamins, minerals, folate and dietary fiber, as well as protein and carbs. Understanding diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Rice
Calorie savings tip: If you are counting calories because you are on a weight loss diet plan, the best way to lower energy intake is to add less fat (eg. fatty meat) to your rice. Also, remember that any physical exercise helps to increase your calorie deficit and thus allows you to add more calories to your rice with less risk of weight gain.
