Why it matters

Key nutrients in Brown Rice

Magnesium
43mg / 100g

Retained in the bran layer stripped from white rice.

Fibre
1.8g / 100g

Supports oestrogen clearance and gut health.

B1 (Thiamine)
0.2mg / 100g

Energy metabolism โ€” particularly valuable during the fatigue of the menstrual phase.

Manganese
1.8mg / 100g

Bone health and carbohydrate metabolism.

Cycle nutrition

When Brown Rice is most valuable

The complex carbs in brown rice raise serotonin โ€” the most important mood-stabilising neurotransmitter in the luteal phase. The magnesium and fibre content make it significantly better than white rice for cycle nutrition.

Logging in Oli

How to track Brown Rice accurately

Always log cooked weight โ€” brown rice roughly triples in weight when cooked. "180g cooked brown rice" is the most accurate. "1 cup cooked brown rice" (about 195g) also estimates well.
