I'm trying to lose belly and chest fat.. Should I just get rid of rice? What are the substitutes?
Ehhh, not really. As far as your in a calorie deficit that's all you need.
People suggest getting rid of rice and other "white" grains as they have little nutrients outside of carbs and aren't very filling, so there's a chance you'll feel hungry after eating them and want more food.
I say do what you'll stick with but as you get older you'll def need to take inventory of your eating habits.
E.g. When I was younger I'd eat just white rice but now I do either all brown rice or half white rice, half beans of some sort etc. Or I'll only eat white rice if I go to a restautant etc.
