Pasta Vs Rice. Whats Better For Bulking?

The good old choice of whats cheaper and easier to prepare for the winter months when you're consistently meal prepping your food. Your goal is to gain a couple of pounds of muscle for the upcoming spring and summer months while minimizing total fat gain. So what to choose..rice or pasta? Brown Rice or Wheat pasta are both going to be treated by the body is a common way, both being lower glycemic carbs. what this means is that they have less of an effect on your body's want or need to produce insulin after food consumption. while Insulin is one of the most beneficial growth hormones in the body it also has a large contribution to fat storage. Insulin also dictates how efficient your body is going to be able to utilize nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. so when choosing a carbohydrate, the lower the glycemic index, the better. It won't be as hard on the body if this is the case. White rice, semolina, and white potatoes are different, these are the higher glycemic carbs. Post workout, these high glycemic carbohydrates will be the best at replenishing glycogen stores and supplementing depleted energy reserves. Many athletes prefer brown rice as there is not as much of a spike in blood sugar hence preventing insulin resistance on a cellular level. It's also a super cheap and affordable long term solution to bulking, not to mention its a dummy-proof food to cook with rice cookers doing all the cooking for you. Regardless both foods are good with their nutrient profiles being pretty comparable. Doing a proper bulk requires adequate protein and consuming more calories than you burn daily and at the end of the day, both will help you towards that goal. The good part is summer isn't here just yet and that leaves you time to go out to try both!
