Question: It should be OK that I eat brown rice in the morning instead of oatmeal right??
I mean, both of them are carbs and high in fiber…

What you guys think? Continue to stick with Oatmeal in the morning??
I feel like, when I eat my rice… its more fulfilling than the oatmeal.
I would eat ½ cup of rice but need 1cup of oatmeal to feel content.

Inputs?

[Boss Man]

Whole-grains including Oats, contain Beta-glucan, a Cholesterol lowering substance.

I'm pretty sure Rice doesn't. So Oatmeal would score on that one, but Rice contains Calcium and Mgnesium from memory, which Whole-grains don't in any serious amount, as far as I'm aware.

Whole-grains do to my understanding, represent the highest source of non-heam iron out of all edible plant sources.

So both have merits and are consumption worthy .

[Boss Man]

Not sure, I think it's classed as a grain. It's actually more richer in Amino Acids than pretty much any other Whole-grains, which are low in Amino Acids / Protein.

There is something called Triticale, which is a Wheat / Barley hybrid, supposedly more Protein rich than most cereals, but I doubt it would have quite the amount of Rice.

Also Rice generally has a slightly different growing requirment. Rice fields can often be very saturated. Most Whole-grain crops are in a fairly arid environment, where they are either artifically watered or allowed to acquire the liquid sustenance from rain, depending on whether the crop is cultivated inside or out.

[Boss Man]

Fair enough then. I wasn't 100% sure, hence why I didn't flat out refute its right to be classed as a Whole-grain .

Though the the Micronutrient variations I stipulated, are still true, to the best of my recollection.

[Nokie173]

Wow… ok, I see lots of benefits for both. Therefore, I will switch around. Thanks for your inputs.

My diet for Tuesday was bad… After Monday night workout I puked out my protein shakes. Once I felt a bit better, I had dinner… I puked that out too… But I was sooo hungry, I had some miso soup, I puked that out as well… So, I gave up on eating and went to sleep.
Tuesday morning, my chest started to hurt and I still wanted to puke but nothing would come out… So, I called the advice nurse to see what my condition was. Instead they made me an appointment to see my doctor. Result, it was a stomach flu. Now on this diet called BRAT.
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast
I’m also taking medication to prevent the vomiting. I hope tomorrow will be a better day for my tummy!!!

Workout: Depend how I feel... I would like to try out this class (ZUMBA) at the gym.
But if I don’t feel too well for intensive workout then I’ll walk on my elliptical at home.

Nice to see you around here, stranger!!

[Nokie173]

Hehehe… I’m around. Just haven’t been updating my journal. Due to some personal things… I don’t really have time to be strict with my diet and exercise until things cool down. However, I do try to keep a clean diet with whatever situation I’m in. With all the Christmas parties been going on at work, I’ve been eating A LOT of veggies and meat to keep my tummy full. Which is a good thing because I don’t have much room for sweets.

But I’ll be stopping by here and there and post comments.

Congratulations on the wedding in 2012 by the way! Very exciting. I really like the wedding shows on tv, like the Wedding planner, (not bridezillas) it looks like so much fun to plan!

Awwww Thank You!

After a long journey of ups and downs I realized I’m ready and he is the one!
The one who can take care of me when I’m stress, down, depress, or very bitchy and he still tells me how beautiful I am even if I gain lots of weight and get lots of pimple. So, I’m happy I can have a partner that lend me a shoulder when I’m need it and carry me up when I’m about to fall. I’m grateful that I can share my sadness and happiness with my him. Most of all, I’m thankful that he is supportive of what I do, except for diet pills.

By the way, I’m not the one that will be planning that wedding… The Groom will plan it with my bridesmaids. All I need to do is go to my dress fitting… hehehe…. Actually, I’m the finance person and I will approve of the spending.

[musculargirl]

Sounds like a great guy! You should help do the planning too Nokie! It looks like so much fun. The dress and the cake design are the most fun things I think to plan and where you are going to have it! The expense part not so much fun! But your an accountant what can you say.
