In this regard, Dr. Marwa Ibrahim, a clinical nutritionist, said that rice cake is a healthy alternative to bread during dieting, provided that it is made of brown rice or chia seeds.
She added that the rice cake prepared with brown rice and chia seeds is characterized by its dietary fiber content, which in turn helps to feel full for long hours, which reduces food intake.
The clinical nutritionist explained that there is another reason why rice cake is a useful food for weight loss, which is its “low calories”, as brown rice cake contains 35 calories per piece, according to the “Nutritionix” website.
