I eat rice twice a day. Its for luncha nd for dinner. I dont eat breakfast so I dont eat rice but its a part of our diet. Its like the equivalent of having coffee in breakfast to most people. The meal would not be complete without rice. Its also half the portion of what we eat. Half of it is rice and half of it is viand. For some people here there also has to be a proportion in eating. Im like that but then again I think thats jsut me.^_^
Anyways, some people here can go through a day, maybe even weeks without eating anything else, like meat, fish eggs, or foods like but only rice. IT gives energy and it keeps the tummy full. But eating too much of it can seriously let you gain some weight.^_^

That is true! I really miss the time in China, my mum cook rice for me, and I have that whole day, almost three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner also.
However, after I move to Holland, I have to change my behaviors more or less. like eat bread for lunch, potato for dinner : (

I don't think I'll ever feel full if I only eat bread or potato for a meal. It just seems like a snack or something. I'll never consider it a meal, if you know what I mean. I guess I'm just too accustomed to eating rice everyday. For us, rice equals meal. I don't know how I will survive in other countries this way, but maybe I'll get used to it just like you do.

I hardly eat rice, but when I do it's usual with specific dishes or by itself. My Fiance does not like rice so when we have our own place I will not be making any at all.

i love eating. we are rice people and my wife cook rice everyday. we eat rice twice a day and me sometimes i even eat rice at breakfast. so if you are asking it per week... if i eat only lunch and dinner rice then for a week that would be 14 times but if i eat rice on breakfast too then that would be 21 times a week.

We eat rice daily because it is a staple food for us. In fact on special ocassions we make different dishes based on rice and other items but without rice a day cannot pass.

Twice a day.. I cook rice for our lunch and dinner only.. If there's leftover rice, I fried it the next day for breakfast! :)

I don't eat rice very often - maybe once a week or left. My mother was married to a Filipino when I was in high school and we ate rice with EVERY meal then.

when i was still young and has the capability to digest everything I eat in an instance I can eat rice average of 3 times a day sometimes upto 5 times a day depending on the activities I had for the day. But now I am no longer the same as before, I only eat rice once a day, every lunch to help me to be fit. I am not into exercising I don't have luxury of time to exercise so I just lessen my rice intake.

I never used to eat rice all that much, maybe a couple of times a month, but I'm eating more now.
I try to cook a large amount in the rice cooker so that I'll have it to use for several meals for a few days. It saves time and money that way, rather than doing it separately for each meal.
I like to mix it with a vegetable of some sort and sprinkle with shredded cheese for a quick lunch.

we eat rice three times a day. we can't say that we have a complete meal if we don't have rice in what we eat

i eat with rice at least 2 times a day. i say it because sometimes, i don't eat rice during breakfast. but sometimes, i eat with rice 5 times, my maximum in a day. i have rice during snack time that is the reason i maximize to 5. rice is the main food for filipinos, there should be rice in every meal.

I really like rice, I would eat it probably 3-5 times a week. We use regular rice and a rice cooker or brown rice on the stove. I think it makes a big difference not using minute rice. My rice cooker was probably the bets investment ever. They are less than ten bucks and last forever!

As rice is the staple food in our place, we cook it everyday. It is often eaten in the 3meals of each day by some people. In our home, my sons take rice mostly at lunch and dinner, sometimes also in the morning if I find time to cook it in the morning, otherwise they would take bread or noodles in the morning, then eat rice with viand at lunch and dinner.
