    yeah, nothing to write home about, that's for sure. I've tried flavoring it before, but it's so damn hard to cook right, everytime I've added something, it doesn't seem to cook right. so i just add water and nothing else.

    Ok, what you could do, something I sometimes do too, is make the brown rice, and then throw three or four "sunny side up" eggs on top, and then mix it together. I was thinking you meant adding something while it was cooking. To be honest, for about a year, due to my circumstances, mostly i eat rolled oats. easier to make, and another great source of complex carbs with fiber.

    vinegar. It's what they use to make sushi rice.
    Oats are good too with some splenda, I love 'em both.
    Maybe switch out for some pasta? I can eat that just plain-boiled with no oil.

    im thinking of trying to make my own egg fried rice with brown rice.

    sometimes as a treat i use uncle bens 2 min microwave rice, comes in all types of flavours, and the macros are pretty good too, 1 packet = 250g, carbs 77g, fat 8 g, protein 6g. get some chicken in there and hey presto.

    That's a good idea!
    Maybe I'll try doing a fried brown rice with egg whites, or egg-beaters instead of whole eggs.
    Wonder what to use to fry instead of oil though, I don't get much fat allowance in my diet...

    It's pretty easy - If you don't mind the extra calories and carbs throw in some green/red bell peppers, onions, etc. If you want to keep your calories and carbs low go for some sriracha if you don't mind the heat. I'll also use some garlic chili sauce sometimes, but I love anything that adds a little heat to my food.

    I think Sriracha has anabolic properties all by itself!

    We boil a whole chicken until completely cooked, and use the same water we used to boil the chicken to boil the rice. Amazing Flavor. You can also freeze this water for later use.

    Adding chicken to the brown rice is deff the way to go for more flavor. You could even try switching to white rice and do abit more cardio to stay on top of the extra carbs. That's what I do because I hate the taste of brown rice
