Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cooked White Rice

  • Metabolic Effect: White rice has a high glycemic index and quickly raises blood sugar levels. This can cause a sudden energy boost followed by a rapid drop, leading to quick hunger.
  • Consumption Suggestion: Instead of consuming white rice alone, consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber helps balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with vegetables and grilled chicken or fish.
  • Things to Consider: White rice is often consumed as pilaf, and portion control is important. One serving of pilaf is equivalent to approximately 4-5 tablespoons.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from 100 grams of white rice, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 25 minutes. This is equivalent to about 2000 steps.
