One cup of rice has more or less the same calories as two slices of white bread. However, many people make the mistake of having too big a "cup". Be sure to measure it with a correct measuring tool like those for baking.

This is a frequent question that we get, since on one hand, at many restaurants it is common to get a basket of bread rolls (usually from a nearby bakery) and, on the other hand, many Indian restaurants around the world have "dinner plates" that include a portion of rice. There are two parts to the answer to this question: one is a commercial part and the other more important part is the artistic part.

Brown rice actually has some advantages over white rice and we prefer for people to have brown rice on most occasions, unless white rice is the only option. White rice starts out as brown rice, but after the husk, bran and germ are removed, then the starchy core, or endosperm is left. Brown rice has had just the outer husk removed, which is inedible, and because the bran and germ remain, the brown rice has 3.5 grams of fiber per cup of cooked rice, vs. 0.74 grams left in the white rice.

There is all the difference in the world. White rice has been processed and refined which strips the rice of all nutrition. It makes the cooked rice soft, fluffy, and pleasant to eat. "Enriched" white rice is a joke. The manufacturer has replaced some vitamins in the rice, but it is not the same as the original. Eating white rice has a negative effect on most bodies. Whole grain brown rice is just what it implies.

There is no such food that is non-fattening, even non-fat foods, because they also contain other calories from carbohydrates or protein. There are low and high calorie versions of whole-wheat cereal depending on the brand. Always remember, anything eaten in excess will be stored as fat.

Cheese slices are 2.00. All the others with toppings are 2.50 (tax included). We charge 50 cents for extra toppings on slices that are already available, but please be considerate and limit requests for custom-order slices when the line is running down the sidewalk.

Original DOG Kibble is 50/50; SEN (Senior) Kibble is 60/40; and LMR (Lamb, Millet, Rice) Kibble is also 60/40.

When cooking rice pastas a few drops of oil in the water keeps it from sticking together. Pastas made without wheat or gluten require less cooking time or they will become mushy. Some people have found by putting the sauce over the uncooked pasta and then heating it up in the microwave the pasta becomes tender and cooks in its own sauce. Lasagna can be made with the raw/uncooked pasta and then baked as usual in the casserole.

NO! It's all those delicious toppings we use that add calories and fat. The potato contains zero fat and a 5.3-ounce potato is only 100 calories.

It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.

Answer: White bread and whole grain breads are not the same thing. When white flour is milled, the outer bran layer and the germ are separated. The germ is taken off because it contains fat. When the fat in the germ turns rancid, the flour is ruined. The bran is removed because it is coarse in texture, brown in color and has flavor that some people do not like. However, bran is where the fiber is located and is lost during the milling process.

That's a trick question because there are too many different factors to consider. The moisture content in each loaf of bread is different, the amount of preservatives in each loaf of bread is different, and the environment in which the bread has been in is different for each loaf. In fact no one can answer that question.

All foods can be fattening when eaten to excess. Pesto sauce is made with a lot of olive oil and , therefore, is high in calories, but can be eaten in SMALL quantities to avoid it becoming "fattening".

Evidence does not support the commonly-held perception that eating too much sugar is a cause of weight gain. Overweight and obesity occur when there is a sustained excess of energy consumed over energy needed by the body and for physical activity. While excess energy intake in any form will promote obesity, high-carbohydrate foods (including sugars and starches) tend to fill you up more quickly, and compared with high-fat diets, reduce the likelihood of obesity in the long term.

This frequently quoted figure is attributed to a study by the "American Insurance Institute." However, there is no such study and no such institute. A recent Gaming Law Review article by Dr. Joseph Kelly discusses the origins and persistence of this particular myth.

A common myth existing in the cat world is that all white and especially blue-eyed white cats are deaf. This is not true. Only a very small percentage of white cats are deaf or carry the gene for deafness. At Boutique Kittens, our cats have been tested and none of them carry the gene for deafness.

Cedar Hills has three sources of secondary water: a City well, the American Fork River, and Central Utah Project (CUP), which is Cedar Hills' most reliable source. CUP provides the City with the opportunity to use a portion of the Colorado River. Click here for more information.

We do not use tap water. We have individual distilled water containers for each patient. This eliminates the bio-film that builds up in ordinary water lines.
