Need to understand how resistant starch modified carbs play in this. So, rice chilled and re-heated. Reheated spuds. Not sure how you can do this with bread but maybe secondary cooking (toast) gets you there?

Also, is this another nail in the coffin for "all calories are the same" ? Feels like it.

I am not a mouse, but I definitely preference some carbs over others. Mind you, given a choice between snacking on an umami laden bowl of salami, cheese, miso, burnt-crunchy-bits-from-the-dinner-roast or carbs, I'd eat all of them.

Some youtuber tested cooled rice or something to test regular vs resistant starch using a glucose monitor and found zero difference in his blood sugar response.

So while there might be gut bacteria effect changes of it some people at least show no different blood glucose response.

Since Ozempic came out it should be obvious even to the most hardcore "all calories are the same" people that this is blatently false and that the hormonal response to foods is what drives satiety, not "calories".
