Dietitian's Tips for Consuming White Rice
Metabolic Effect: Due to its high glycemic index, it raises blood sugar rapidly and can cause quick hunger. It is easy to digest and provides quick energy, but it is low in fiber.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with vegetables or sprinkling cinnamon on it can help balance blood sugar. Consuming it with a protein-containing food (chicken, fish, yogurt) prolongs the feeling of fullness.
Things to Consider: 1 glass of cooked white rice contains approximately 195 calories, which is equivalent to 3 slices of bread. Diabetics and those who want to maintain weight control should pay attention to portions.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from one serving (approximately 1 glass) of white rice, you need to walk for about 138 minutes. Alternatively, 69 minutes of running or 180 minutes of light exercise will have the same effect.
