Hello!!
What do you eat in carb loading day?

I don’t overly prescribe to the carb loading day because we now know that the muscles can only store a finite amount of glycogen so once you hit your limit thats it. So over eating carbs isn’t going to be useful. My view is for the week before a main event I would aim to keep everything topped off carbs, electrolytes and hydration. Depending on the event I might look to reduce the fibre in my diet over the week as well.

Rice. Get Indian or Libanese cuisine along with it. Work for me better than pasta.

Agree with @kevstorr on this. Not necessarily useful to carb load unless you spend considerable time emptying your stores - even then, it is debatable how much glucose can be transported in the blood - so over eating a carb heavy meal might not bring the desired benefit anyway.
That said, agree with @miffedoldpizza on rice!
I am old school and will eat pasta the night before a big event or even long old ride.
you mean like lentils?
Would avoid lentils - lentils are hi in fiber. Pick Hi GI, low fiber foods. Think white bread/rice/pasta, fruit/fruit juice/smoothies/sports drinks. Easy to digest, etc.

Agree with Ryno here
Each to their own on food intake. Agree lentils aren’t my go to, but could work for someone else. Depends on timing.
