White rice or cous cous

[_Louisa_]

Is cous cous less calorific than white rice?

According to http://www.thecaloriecounter.com/ it's almost exactly the same!!!

Try using Basmati instead of white. I don't use white at all anymore. Basmati nice nutty flavour and has a lower GI index than ordinary white long grain.
