White Rice (1/4 cup), 150 calories
0g fat
35g carbs
0g fiber
3g protein.
Brown Rice (1/4 cup), 160 calories
1.5g fat
33g carbs
5g fiber
6 grams of protein.
One benefit that Turoff points out is the 5g of fiber
that brown rice contains, however, even that doesn't
give it a significant advantage over white rice.
Fiber can be found in a variety of
different foods so outside of a few
grams of fiber, I wouldn't split hairs
between white vs. brown rice, Alix Turoff, a registered dietitian and
