Has anybody eat and Cooked Rice??

filipina here so i eat rice. about 2 times a day, normally, but if i am really hungry i cook a lot so i'd have left over rice for snacks (which would actually be meals). i think some rice are fortified with vitamins so they are in a way good for you. yes, rice allows us to gain a lot of weight but i think it is just the same as bread. i mean 1/2 cup of rice (which is the recommended serving) is 225 calories already. and most rice eaters think that 1 cup is dieting already. likewise, to those who have bread as their staple food two loaves of bread can amount to 300 calories (if the loaf is an enriched bread)and that doesn't include the ones they take that bread with. anything we don't know the basic thing about is not good. no offense but food and weight should entail calorie know-how.

we as indians eat rice daily twice. our stomach don;t fill ,if we can;t eat rice any day.generally we take rice in a plain way with some non veg or veg curries. or we will take rice in different forms like fried rice ,biryani's or even in deserts we use rice. i will take one cup rice and add 2 cups water to it and will cook for 12 -15 minutes. i can cook rice in pressure cooker,electric rice cooker or even in microwave. we will take raw white rice ,not brown rice or boiled rice. white rice is polished and we will take it . for fried rices ,we take long grain rices (called basmathi rice) which will be seperately available in my country. if we over eat we can gain weight .so we should eat it in limited quantity. some people's body metabolism rate is high,so they will gain weight more,when they eat rice. see below matter on rice in the link http://www.sunrice.com.au/education/rice-and-good-health : Eating carbohydrate-rich rice means having more energy. Rice with a low Glycaemic Index (GI), breaks down slowly in your body, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream. Rice is a completely satisfying food; it reduces 'between-meal' hunger pangs and gives you more energy during the day. Rice is an excellent food to include in a balanced diet. Being low in fat, rice is suitable to eat for people watching their weight. It is also cholesterol free, and contains only small amounts of salt. Some people are unable to tolerate the proteins found in wheat, barley, rye, oats and triticale. These people can feel unwell after eating these foods, and a few can get very sick. All rice is gluten free, making it the essential choice for people with dietary requirements. Rice is an excellent source of fuel for our body. It is easily digested and so the energy it supplies becomes quickly available to our working muscles, brain and body organs, like the heart and liver. The fuel that rice provides is used for physical activity, brain performance, bodily functions and everyday growth and repair. A half-cup serve (80g) of cooked white rice typically provides about 5% of the daily energy needs for an average adult. The same serve size of cooked brown rice typically provides about 6% of an average adult’s daily energy needs. Rice fits well with the dietary recommendations for a balanced diet. The energy (kilojoules/calories) it provides is accompanied by nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, making every mouthful count. Carbohydrate: Around 85% of the energy (kilojoules/calories) that rice supplies comes from carbohydrate. Carbohydrate powers the body and helps to keep us moving. It is stored in our muscles and liver and released when we need it. Nutrition experts recommend at least half the kilojoules/calories in a healthy diet should come from carbohydrates which are provided by foods such as rice. Protein: This may surprise you but rice is not all carbs! After carbohydrate, protein is the second most abundant constituent of rice. In fact, when compared to that of other grains, rice protein is considered one of the highest quality proteins. It has all eight of the essential amino acids, which are building blocks responsible for making strong muscles. Other Nutritional Pluses of Rice: • Gluten free and the most non-allergenic of all grains • Free from preservatives • Free from additives – like artificial colours and flavours Ricegrowers

Rice is our main food in China. We eat rice every day. In fact, I eat it for lunch and dinner. In the morning, I usually have some noodles, or one or two eggs with a cup of milk for breakfast. I did not know that there is a Rice Day. Now I am glad to know it. Happy Rice Day to you though my response is belated. Take care, Mikaela.

I'm not a huge fan of rice, but it's always way too dry. I like to mix gravy with it to soften it up a little. I know someone that mixes milk, butter and sugar with it. I think that is DISGUSTING! Haha. Even worse is when people put raisins in it. Uggg. I do like to crumble baked fish or chicken into rice. Better that way as well. I'm a very picky eater when it comes to how I will eat my rice.

Yes,my country main food is rice and i also eat rice everyday.I cannot live without rice and only sometimes i eat bread.I cooked rice 2 times everyday and always hot the rice back if i want to eat it untill it finish.Then i will cook back at the night for new rice because it is not good to eat same rice for a whole day even it still many and can be eat.Rice has same funtions like bread because it have big carbohydrate same like bread.Thank you and have a nice day.

i will only cook rice on weekend,that's will be 2 times depend on how many person at home..usually use 2 cup to 3 cups rice only!

Yes I cooked rice but due to I am always at work my mother cook it for us. My day will not be energized if I will not eat rice it is part of the meal actually. I don't see myself eating food without rice its part of the food I need to survive.

I would think every single one of us here have ever eaten rice. Cooking is exceptional as some of us do not cook or do not need to cook. I am one of those who do not cook. However, I eat rice cooked by others. I try to have one serving a day if not none. I do not like rice.

We eat rice every day here in China. It is the main food in China. I cook rice at least twice every day, because rice is of high nutrition which does good to our hearth. I know rice is not the main food in some foreign countries, maybe including your country. But wish you a great rice day. lol.

i eat rice primarily because i am asian. but recently, i've been trying to cut my rice intake because rice makes me fat.as in fatter than ever. moderation is a must. i can't take rice off my diet so i just try to limit my rice intake as much as i can. happy eating!

well if you live in this country, all meals have rice so youll eat it 3 times a day 7 times a day. rice is mostly carbs dunno if eating much is good or bad

Yup, I do eat rice everyday. At least twice a day. I'm quite overweight, yet I can't give up on any food whatsoever. I don't cook rice myself, but I can very well do it. It's pretty simple compared to other stuff. The pressure cooker method is easy; the microwave is easier. I love rice with the 'dal' and curries that are the common Indian delicacies. Slurp! A Rice day to you too! :-)

When I was young, I ate rice three times everyday. Now I eat rice twice everyday, and they are lunch and dinner. The breakfast is very simple, a piece of bread,or steamed stuffed-bun,or Chinese cruller is ok.

Hi Mikaela, In our country,rice is also our main food.You know,Chinese have a great number of varieties,but rice is always our staple food.But as for the inside of China,We have a different taste.The peolple lived in north of China tend to eat more wheated food,but in south,we prefer rice than wheat,Maybe the difference is result in the weather.Haha.

Hi Mika! Rice is our staple dite and we take it once in a day i.e. we cook rice with dinner. Our dinner consists of pulses and vegetables/curd and we cook rice along with that. We take bread (home cooked bread called 'Chapatis' in our dinner, besides rice. I've seen some people take rice with anybread and they enjoy their meal with rice and curries.

I have eaten rice, but i haven't cooked rice.I eat rice in the afternoon and night.I sometimes eat rice in the form of chinese food which is chicken fried rice.Sometimes i eat beaten rice in the morning which is called poha.I eat puffed rice in the evening which is called bhel.My mom just boils rice in a vessel and we eat it.We do not use a rice cooker.

Filipinos eat rice three times a day. That's our primary food already. Regarading how you cooked rice well we cooked in rice cooker. The amount of rice is the same as the water so if you put 3 cups of rice you have to put 3 cups of water as well. They said that too much rice you ate will result to gain weight, but i dont think its right because i am fit and dont have any problem regarding gain weight. Anyway rice is best eat together with good viand and we filipinos have different viand to choose and satisfy our food in a day .. thanks for open up this discussion.

We eat rice once or sometimes twice a week.We have rice with curry once a week and some times we will do a stir fry in that same week so we have rice with the stir fry as well.I find that you do not have to eat much rice with anything as it soon fills you up.I have also found that we do put on weight on alot more if you eat alot of rice.

i am a rice eating person... actually my whole family eats rice eversince a child... now that it is school day, i cooked rice 3 times a day, and rice are always on our meal, there's rice for rbeakfast, rice for lunch and rice again for dinner. sometimes our snacks also have rice... ... well that's because rice can make you full right away. even our dogs eats rice, with soup added of course to have a taste. we dont really have left over food here especially with rice because after my family have eaten whatever is left is given to our dogs. what we eat is what they eat also.

I eat rice everyday and since mom is busy these days, i cook it everyday as well. Its our daily food. That's what we eat in the morning and evening. Sometimes i get tired of rice and skip dinner, but in the morning; want it or not, i have to eat.
