How much brown rice per serve?

[justhell]

Hey guys

Ok im at a stage now where i want to loose a bit of excess fat from round the stomic,

im not over weight realy,just want to see more of my abs.

I have cut down on junk food (but on weekends im relaxed about that)

For the last week iv cut my portion size down alot and i can already feel the effects from that.

So this week im realy going to go the extra bit by not eating more than my body needs.

I pre make my work food for each week and im still set in my bulking serving size ways.

This week im having chicken brests with mushroom sauce and brown rice,for my lunchtime feed i add salad to the mix.

Im going to have 160grams of chicken and im not sure on how much brown rice i should add,i normaly Add 120grams but im thinking that could be too much?

I eat these pre made meals 3 times a day while im at work.

I know everyones needs are different but just want to know an average on how much brown rice to eat.

Any input is taken on board.

Cheers

Half the rice what your currently eating per day and ditch the sauce, you'll get leaner.

way too many variables, dunno your size nor whether all your meals have evenly distributed carbs or if you are allocating more carbs to the preworkout meal etc. also don't know exactly how heavy of a bulk you went on

'by not eating more than my body needs' - that's your key. great that you acknowledge this part, now you actually have to find out what that maintenance figure is before you go planning meals and such. you can use caloric intake calculators for generic figures but in the end, you'll have to do a bit of trial and error until you hit the sweet spot.

Eat as much brown rice as you can while still losing the amount of weight per week you want to lose.

People on here can't tell you if its 100g or 200g, if your already losing some weight regularly, just start with a certain measured amount of carbs per day.

If you lose weight faster than before great, if slow then you decrease the carbs a little bit. Be aware of things like fats or alcohol during the week because they can throw things off a little bit.

A pretty safe starting point without getting to carried away with measuring everything would just be to start with the same size serving of carb portion with protein.

Half 120g of brown rice = 60g rice = 16g carbs sounds a bit heavy on the carbs Tom :naughty:

well look at it this way, you are making your meals in advance, will be the same thing all the time so really all you have to do is count it all once and the job is done for good. when you are eating lots of random/different things each day, it's much harder but in your case it's really not much of a chore at all. it will save you a lot of mucking around by giving you a pretty reliable baseline figure which you can manipulate to your advantage.
