I’m about 150-200. I buy my lean turkey mince from Lidl 500g is £3.19. I can’t find anywhere else that displays it

[Dean Herbert]

I use a rice cooked, have used the same one for years that has pre made measures on it.

I weigh all my rice cooked, so do most of the American BB it seems from there videos and documentaries and I know many of the top level coaches give things out in cooked amounts.

Im not disputing it may not be as accurate as dry but I would argue it makes very little difference if you are using a rice cooked with the same measurements all of the time etc.

If you are boiling it in a pan etc and guessing stuff then yes this isn’t what I would advise.

Hi hilly. I normally just buy the microwave packs

[Dean Herbert]

I really don’t understand the complication. If you want 65g carbs weigh 85g uncooked rice then multiply it by how many meals you want. Then cook it all in one batch. Once cooked weigh it all and then divide by the number of meals you want. Simple.

There isn’t no complications pal. Was a simple question lol

[Dean Herbert]

I think it’s very easy to weigh dry the amount of rice you need for example 100g per meal – cook as many meals as you want let’s say 5 meals – 500g dry rice. Cook it all in one then weigh all cooked and divide the weight by 5 and portion. Simple.

Hi haider. I prefer to do it cooked as I know 250g cooked has around 65g carbs. If that makes sence???[/quote]

You don’t know that 250g rice cooked has 65g carbs because there are many factors that change the weight of cooked rice

ex: amount of water cooked with and the heat used to cook the rice

So 250g cooked is not always the same amount of rice it could be 55g carbs or it could be 75g carbs

If you weigh before cooking there are no factors to change the weight of the rice so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting [/quote]
I bulk cook pal

Weighing cooked is never 100% accurate due to varying water content, so if you want accurate portions then always weigh uncooked. To answer your question though, the rice that’s left standing will have absorbed more water; bulking it out so it appears a larger portion, the nutritional content will remain the same.

Hi Clare. Basically I’ll cook a load and weigh 250g cooked out. So today I cooked my pre workout meal and weighed 250g out. Was a decent size. But then if I weigh 250g out now the portion size will be bigger???[/quote]

It’s absorbed more water whilst standing

That’s why I like to buy the microwave packs. There 250g but are more expensive then buying a big pouch

[Dean Herbert]

don’t weigh rice oost cooked.. always weigh dry.. typcially 100g is 75g carbs – 80 ish
… say you want 50 carbs .. cook 200g total stay and then what ever is cooled split into 3

James I know that 250g cooked is around 65 g carbs

[Dean Herbert]

I’m also not as anal as I was in passed Corinne I would eat every 2.5 hours weather I was hungry or not but not if I’m not hungry it maybe 3.5-4.5 hours. Aslong as I get my macros in that works best for me. I found my self forcefeeding which left me feeling shit. And bloated. What’s your approach on this??

[Dean Herbert]

I would just match the macros each day

so on this day have larger meals as kevin said

I wouldn’t cram them just increase them

ie if my protein was 200 gram per day for example, on work days with 7 meals I would have 28g each and the rest days with 5 meals I would have 40g etc

Hi corinne. As I say I work Tuesday to Saturday night shift. So I finish 6am Sunday morning. I eat my pre bed meal about 630am. The I wake around 1 pm Sunday.

Meal 1 130
Train 230-300
Pwo 5-530
Meal 3 8-830
Meal 4 1030pm ish

So in effect I’m missing 2 meals. Sometimes 1

[Dean Herbert]

I’m having chicken pitta or wraps at moment but the bars are triggering a binge Tim

[Dean Herbert]

I wud ideally like chicken and rice but can stomach it

[Dean Herbert]

Either use your will power and stop at 2 or cut them out. If you find that sweet foods trigger cravings and could cause you to overeat, then maybe switch to more of a savoury post workout meal instead.
