Bread wins.

Too tough to mop up the left over gravy on your plate with rice.

White bread aka white death. it's no better than eating pure sugar. We have several european style bakeries here and the pumpernickel and european rye breads are dense enough to cause damage when you drop them. I usually prefer a dark bread or a multigrain(pumpkin, sunflower sesame and flax is a favourite). As for rice and gravy...it works just as good as mashed potatoes for soaking up gravy....aren't you one of those metabolic mutants like Yogi??

Bread maker here too... and I use it.
Whole wheat or multi-grain, dark rye, spelt, raisin, nuts and seeds.
When my Russian friend tells me my rye bread is good, I know it is... and I hate grocery store rye bread.

Making bagels is too much work.

I haul out some mushrooms. They not only have the quality of making you feel full and for longer, they actually take more calories to digest than they contain.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no such thing.

While rice and bread are both carbohydrates, I believe the rice is a Low glycemic-loaded carb, which fruits and vegetables are as well. Breads, bagels and such are considered a Hi glycemic-loaded carb and therefore turn from sugar to to fat quicker if not burned off with exercise. It's kind of a Good Carb vs. Bad Carb thing.

If you have to pick only one......you're better off with the rice.

Any rice, just not the modified white shit...

In the case of celery — the poster child of all negative calorie foods – you would be burning an extra 4.5 calories per each 9 calorie, 2.2 oz serving of celery. That would put your effective net calories at 4.5 (9/50% = 4.5 calories) — hardly “negative calorie” territory.

And because the amount of energy expended on digestion of foods is always expressed as a percentage, to have a negative calorie effect, digestion would have to constitute at least 101% of the energy consumed in order to create a negative calorie environment — something which is physically impossible.

So it appears that the food that is the best candidate for qualifying as a negative calorie food — celery – can’t even hit the break-even point, let alone become “calorie-negative.”

Which ranks right up there with store bought white bread. Not really meant for human consumption.
