Sticky rice has 97 kcal per 100 g cooked with nearly zero fiber. The high amylopectin starch makes it clump together, which paradoxically makes portions easier to estimate than loose-grain rice. Weigh it once to calibrate – a typical serving ball is about 150 g cooked.
How should I track Glutinous white rice (cooked, unenriched)?
The key to tracking Glutinous white rice (cooked, unenriched) is knowing whether you are logging dry or cooked weight. Grains absorb 2–3 times their weight in water during cooking, so 80 g of dry rice becomes about 200 g cooked. Mixing up dry and cooked values can throw your calorie count off by 200–300%. A meta-analysis (Reynolds et al., Lancet 2019) linked higher whole grain intake to reduced mortality — but only accurate tracking captures the real intake. Weigh on a kitchen scale before cooking and use the matching nutrition values.
