is two cans of tuna over 1 cup cooked rice a good dinner?

Too much tuna. Brown rice is preferable to white rice. Tuna packed in water rather than oil.

Why too much tuna? Calories wise? Mercury?

Don't want to hijack but was wondering very similar with regards to spicy tuna roll as a carbo load meal? I love that shiat. Beats pasta.

I will also add a side of veg. Please advise. Thanks!

It's better if you don't cook the rice.

Having cheese burgers on the grill with Memphis flavored bean's and beer's.

7 miles, that's pretty impressive bro. Did you stop for water at any point? Maybe take a gel?

If I was going to have tuna with rice, I'd probably have a tuna steak instead of canned tuna. Seared with sesame over jasmine rice.

Brown rice is simply white rice with the husk not removed.

White rice is better, unless you think eating hay is healthy for humans.

Thanks, no water just beer. Proud to finish in less than 2 hours.

I prefer salmon or mackerel, the latter being the least expensive.

That's a great dinner if your intention is to be hungry when your finished.

Why do so many people have so much trouble differentiating the use of "your" and "you're"?

No even close.

Brown rice is better for you than white — most of us know that! It’s The majority of consumers typically choose white rice over brown rice because of the difference of appearance. While it’s true white rice looks so much more delicious than brown rice, it doesn’t mean it’s the healthier alternative.

Brown rice is one component of a healthy plant-based diet filled with veggies, fruits, beans, grains, nuts and seeds.

Brown rice has complex carbs, white does not. Ya NUT.

Sure, brown rice has more fiber and some "complex" carbs - good stuff undoubtedly. I'd like you to explain what kind of "complex" carbs exactly are in the brown rice that aren't in the white rice from a biochemical standpoint.

You'd probably want to add a giant salad to that brown rice too for more fiber and vitamins/minerals/nutrients. That's fair.

What you're not seeing is that it takes energy to digest food, and blood is diverted to do so. Gorging on cups of heavy-fiber brown rice and a plate of veggies is not going to help your recovery in the midst of a 100 mile week.

When training hard, I'd sometimes try a big salad with/without some protein source (beans/steak/chicken) for "recovery" like I hear others like to do. And I find that I'm exhausted by the effort of eating and digesting it, and still feel unfueled. White rice, lentils, sweet potatoes were always easier to intake.

So don't keep insisting that brown rice is some kind of magical cousin to white rice.

It really is.

Not only is white rice much preferred to brown rice, but black rice is literally "Forbidden!".

Wrong.

Why Brown--But Not White--Rice is One of the World's Healthiest Foods

The difference between brown rice and white rice is not just color! A whole grain of rice has several layers. Only the outermost layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing. If brown rice is further milled to remove the bran and most of the germ layer, the result is a whiter rice, but also a rice that has lost many more nutrients. At this point, however, the rice is still unpolished, and it takes polishing to produce the white rice we are used to seeing. Polishing removes the aleurone layer of the grain--a layer filled with health-supportive, essential fats. Because these fats, once exposed to air by the refining process, are highly susceptible to oxidation, this layer is removed to extend the shelf life of the product. The resulting white rice is simply a refined starch that is largely bereft of its original nutrients.
