Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the nutrition thread, but seeing as I'm mainl;y concerned with fat loss I've gone with this section.
A little background, I'm an engineer, so drive round to various sites during the day. Never allowed food or drink on the sites, so it has to remain in my car, in my six pack bag. Now this usually does a good job of keeping things fairly cool, but on some days if the sun is strong, it just can't cope with it, and sometimes the food is approaching room temp by mid afternoon (and yes, sometimes it does get warm here in the UK). So my question is, how do the three compare for a diet? With all the scare stories surrounding cooked rice (eat it after two hours and you'll die a slow agonising death, I know, I'm exaggerating), but I just feel more comfortable with pasta that has warmed up a bit (and I'm completely ignoring the chicken here). Am I going to be able to lose weight using pasta instead of rice, and would I be better going for wholemeal. The way I look at it, rice is a fairly simple carb as is pasta, so as long as I'm in deficit I should be good to go?
