Do seasoning add calories?

**magneto576** · 03-21-2005, 04:48 PM

I've been eating my brown rice without seasoning ever since today, when I added curry powder. It tastes really good, so I'm wondering if this adds any extra calories or anything else I wouldn't want, being on a cutting carb-cycle? If not, what other seasonings do you all use?

Everything you eat speeds up your metabolism.

No, you don't use that much. It's not much at all.

nope. unless you are using something that contains sugars and/or maltodextrin, etc. even then you many only be adding a gram or two or carbs which would obviously have zero impact on your caloric intake

I just sprinkled some on top of the water before I steamed it. Is curry the best thing to put on brown rice, or do you guys have a better reccomendation?

I sprinkle cinnamon into my brown rice before I cook it... and it steams up with this delicious sweet cinnamon taste. Then again I put cinnamon on everything.

If anything the seasoning will add salt to your diet and make leaning out more difficult since you'll be holding water you'll appear smoother then you really are.....assuming salt has this effect on you....its different for everyone.

There is an increasing number of salt-free seasonings available at the supermarket these days. McCormick has a whole line of salt-free... as does Badia, and i think even Astor has a few. And you can always get salt-free seasoning blends at Whole Foods, Wild Oats and Trader Joe.

Yeah I have a lot of salt free ones, but they don't taste nearly as good as the ones I have with salt....I like salt but my blood pressure doesn't...I would probably retain lots of water if I ate more salt. I give myself the salt seasoning a few times a week...its kinda like my way of cheating.
