Cycle nutrition
When Brown Rice is most valuable
The complex carbs in brown rice raise serotonin: the most important mood-stabilising neurotransmitter in the luteal phase. The magnesium and fibre content make it significantly better than white rice for cycle nutrition.
Logging in Oli
How to track Brown Rice accurately
Always log cooked weight: brown rice roughly triples in weight when cooked. "180g cooked brown rice" is the most accurate. "1 cup cooked brown rice" (about 195g) also estimates well.
