Why is?

Don't know why but rice passes right through me like nothing
Keeps me full about 1 hour
I avoid it
Eat brown rice. With white rice I could 2 cups a pound of beef then still have room for ice cream. Now with brown rice I’m struggling to eat a cup and 2 chicken breasts it’s crazy but it works. It just takes a fucking hour to cook
White rice is well-known for being an easy to digest food which is why bodybuilders and athletes prefer it. Doesn’t make sense for them to eat slow digesting, filling Brown rice associated with gastrointestinal issues when they’re trying to down 4,000+ calories a day.
potatoes are too filling and low calorie.
have fun peeling those fuckers, ever think this aspect?
You too good for potato skins, gay?
why would you peel away the gains???
>peeling potatos

potatoes have an insane satiety index. Rice is good because it's free carbs, you can eat pounds of it a day without feeling full for long. Potatoes are superior for the average lifter that isn't on roids.

Maybe if you don't do cardio. If you lift and do cardio, there is no reason to be afraid of calories. You can ignore them.
I tried doing something like this recently, I started doing 60 minutes of harder cardio ~150 bpm a day, I ended up getting so fatigued I could barely do my lifting for the day. There's a finite amount of fatigue you have, and just doing more cardio is going to eventually impact your lifting.
>There's a finite amount of fatigue you have
That amount increases the more you train. It's like how there is a finite number of reps you can weightlift, but you can lift more reps the stronger you get. You can't just be doing an hour of hard cardio every day, btw. In college for Track, I was doing an hour of medium cardio 4 days a week, and hard cardio 2 days a week, and lifting 3 days a week.
I have sleep apnea (used to be obese, but im 25 bmi atm) a broken back and I had surgery on my hip to repair a labral tear and I'm on percocet, so my ability to recover is very poor, so I imagine that played into my rapid onset of fatigue. I can't really train like that, I just gas out fairly easily. Perhaps I could slowly build up the time instead of going all out.
>Perhaps I could slowly build up the time instead of going all out.
Yeah, you need to do like a 15 minute cooldown after lifting instead of running a long time or something.
No, this wasn't a need for rest, it was an accumulation of fatigue, I would do my 60 minutes of cardio in 2 30 minute blocks once in the morning and once in the evening, then around noon I would lift. It just was a classic example of overtraining where any exertion over a certain point was extremely taxing.
No I mean like, you should start with only 15 minute light sessions of cardio after lifting.
Cadio burn very little of calories. Belive me or jot, byt human are insanely efficient at covering large distances. Lifting burns way more.
Calories isn't the only thing that matters. Potato has more vitamins, while rice is a pute carb. With the same success you can eat sugar. Potato feeds microbiome that turns carbs into short chain fatty acids and produces a shit ton of vital substances like dopamine, serotonin, k2, b vitamins, etc. You are fucked if your microbiome is fucked and consuming the same chicken+rice is the easiest way to fuck it. Only second to a regular junk food. Eating at mcdonalds is healthier than your chicken+rice
Anons live in different countries. Rice does not grow in mine so potatoes are a main dish. It is the other way around in other countries.
>Potatoes don't grow in some country
moron, if you leave a sack of potatoes in your pantry too long it'll start growing, doesn't even need fucking dirt
It's about better utilization of land. Sweet potato is even better than a regular one, but produces a little amount pwr a lot of land. If everyone switched to sweet potatoes as their main carb source, half of the world won't have what to eat. Asian countries can't switch to potatos insted of rice as it would mean mass starvation for them. Rice is shit food but is cheap. Potato is much better but costs more. Sweet potato is the best, but for thw same calorie is 10 times higher price comparing to rice.
This being said, I have no idea why would anyone in the west eat rice other than for ocassional diversity in food. I like risotto and that's it. Potato is king.
Never heard of a potato box
Very space efficient
>Tell me you know nothing about agriculture without telling me you know nothing about agriculture.
How are you planning to utilize it for the masses? This box will feed a family twice at most. You need at least an acre to feed a single family.

Calories.
Potato 100kcal per 100g
Rice 160 kcal per 100g
And it's much easier to eat 500g of rice than 500g of potatoes.
I do oatmeal, particularly an hour to an hour and a half before the gym and then here and there during the week. I thought that was one of the best?
Rice is easier to digest and easy to eat loads of. It's a nice source of quickly available energy and a lot more calorie dense, so ideal for puttin on weight.
>better nutrients.
Both rice and potatoes are purely carbs and no other nutrients
>potatoes are purely carbs and no other nutrients
I can't understand why someone would talk about something that they know nothing about, and be completely wrong as a result. Utter stupidity.
>not doing a nice portion of both
your life will become too boring too quickly if you go too extreme on the minimalism, anon
Bulking: Eat rice
Cutting: Eat potatoes
Simple as.
>cutting with carbs
why
Takes a war to make them
