This rice has 124 kcal per 100 g cooked. Rice roughly triples in weight during cooking, so always log the cooked weight to avoid a 2–3× calorie error. White rice has minimal fiber, so the label calories closely match what your body absorbs. Weigh your portion once to calibrate your usual serving.
How should I track Rice, white, long-grain, precooked or instant, enriched, prepared?
Rice, white, long-grain, precooked or instant, enriched, prepared is a good source of iron. The key to tracking Rice, white, long-grain, precooked or instant, enriched, prepared 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.
