Why are Asians skinny if they eat rice?

[jennifer_bloom]

A 5 inch bowl contains 3 cups of rice when full, which is 600 calories, most Asians eat over 1600 calories of rice for every meal, and some eat 3 meals a day, yet they are slim compared to white people.

They have a higher basal metabolic rate. I wrote an entire take on the differences between men and women regarding it. But didn’t address racial differences.

Genetics would be my guess

Thanks for the mho

I think it’s bc their bodies are trained and adapted to certain things. For example, my great grandma (grandmas mom) was very skinny even up until the day she died, she was full blood Japanese. My grandma (moms mom) is Japanese and black, her stomach bloated every time she eats rice, especially white rice. I think it’s just the way the body adapts due to genes and environment.

Probably because they excerise more and are you talking about 1 cup cooked rice or raw.

[jennifer_bloom]

I assumed they meant cooked rice cause no one eats raw rice.

[convo_king89]

I’m talking about the measurement.

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes, I’m assuming the 200 calories per cup refers to a cup of cooked rice.

[convo_king89]

Japanese also eat less in general

[Danny_dan92]

Because they have caloric deficits
