Wow!! I am so impressed with your site, I have been on all day, and I think it is so informative and I appreciate the format.
So I see you ate a fair amount of white rice. Why didn’t you use brown rice? Lots more fiber & more important, flavor!
white rice is just easier on my stomach, and I like the quick carbs cause I run a lot.
I get lots of fiber and B vitamins from my other food!
Where’s the fiber content? Are those total carbs listed or net carbs?
Emmy- It’s total carbs only. Sorry the fiber isn’t there! I rarely calculate net carbs.
