Rice Recipes for Bodybuilding

If you are gluten intolerant then you will need to eat brown rice however all bodybuilders, whether cutting up for a competition or bulking up for mass should only stick to brown rice. The slow breakdown of brown rice will keep your blood sugar levels even throughout the day.

Keeping your blood sugar levels during the day will ensure two important aspects of your training. The first is that you will not get starving hungry and want to resort to junk food. The second is that you will have made a steady and evenly spaced repair to your muscles while keeping your moods and temperament on an even keel.

Having rice every day can be a bit boring so you just need a bit of creativity to be able to enhance your tasty meals that you prepare before you leave home. These simple meals can and should be mixed with some protein source that could be anything from a piece of chicken to a slice of turkey or a tin or tuna.
