Should I eat rice for both meals a day?

VietNamNet newspaper quoted Dr. Manjari Chandra, nutrition consultant (Max Hospital Gurugram - India), as saying: "Many countries consider rice as the main grain because it contains carbohydrates that provide energy for the body. Most people are fine eating rice more than once a day as long as the amount consumed is moderate. But you should also think about the type of rice, the amount of rice and the nutritional balance in the meal."

For people with diabetes, Dr. Shibal Bhartiya (Marengo Asia Hospital Gurugram, India) said that they can eat rice but need to pay attention to the amount of rice and food eaten with it. If you add more vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats to your diet, eating rice twice a day is appropriate.
