Is brown rice good for a gym diet?
Not much protein: 2 g per 100 calories. Count it as energy and get your protein from dal, tofu or soya chunks.
Most of its calories come from carbs (84%), then protein (8%) and fat (8%).
A gym meal usually aims for 25 g of protein or more, depending on your daily target. From this alone, that's 5.5 cups (about 1280 calories). The same 25 g from soya chunks is about 170 calories.
