I know brown rice is a good ‘clean carb’ but sometimes it’s a hassle to make. Does anyone ever eat these brown rice cakes? I know rice cakes themselves are sort of a joke/diet food but I thought the plain brown ones might be decent. Pretty delicious spread w/ natty PB. (accompanied by a shake)[/quote]
The glycaemic load is fairly high,
but before/after a workout,or a snack for grazing,especially if cutting,you could do a helluva lot worse.
I sometimes snack on them at work,keep 'em in a drawer.you can get flavoured ones.I like the yeast extract flavoured ones,or with some cottage cheese,or spread with PB.
As the rice is puffed,like popcorn,they have more volume per weight,so are more filling and satisfying and you’ll probably eat less calories and carbs for the same number of mouthfuls.
Despite what I said about the high GI,they make portion size control a helluva lot easier as they are all the same size-if you’re out and about,the size of a portion of rice may vary from a cafe or buffet or whatever.
You gots your fibre in their too,if they are brown rice…
