White rice is probably the most ideal carb for athletes....I used to be a pasta and potatoes type of a guy but not anymore. I switched to white rice few years ago and never looked back, it works really good for me. I don't really like brown rice, I prefer white rice. Some people will argue that brown rice is healthier than white rice but I it doesn't really matter to me. White rice is easier and faster to cook, it digests a lot easier. I eat rice strictly for it's carbs and calories and I get my fibre and other nutrients from a variety of different foods.
