Well actually there is a big difference in the two. White rice is a simple carb and digests quickly just like white bread. Brown rice is a complex whole grain that breaks down much slower causing a steady release in the blood stream. It really comes down to your goals and how you gain weight. I only eat white rice post WO most of the time because I gain weight pretty fast.

Not if you combine the white rice with protein. Hell even the micronutrients aren't that different if you compare them side by side.

Nothing wrong with consuming white rice now and again. Its by no means optimal during a cutting phase, but if it fits into your macro's and daily kals, why not?

When bulking, I use higher GI carb sources now and again. White potato, rice, pasta etc...

I like brown rice much better than white rice. White rice is bland. Brown rice has taste to it. Plus the texture is better. (if you get it right)

glycemic index is higher for white than for brown

if you prefer to eat whole foods, you eat brown. All white is processed brown, with the outer husk (and fiber) removed. Your blood sugar levels will spike with white, which triggers the glycogen response more than brown. People concerned with blood sugar levels should avoid white.

again this is really only applicable when eating rice on its own. Glycemic Index is outdated. Glycemic load is important. Its all how you balance and time your meals.

i agree/ I'm a diabetic and if i eat white rice i really have to compensate with my insulin for the spike
