Frequently asked questions about Cooked white rice

How many calories are in a spoonful of rice?

There is no fixed value. If a spoonful weighs 20 g, this reference gives about 26 kcal. That weight is an example, not a standard spoon size.

What about 150 g or 200 g of cooked rice?

This plain-rice reference gives 195 kcal for 150 g and 260 kcal for 200 g. Add oil, butter and sides separately if they are not already included.

How do I convert raw to cooked rice?

Water absorption varies with the cooking method. Use a record matching the state in which you weighed the rice rather than a universal conversion factor.

Tips for weighing and logging

Weigh rice and stew separately; add any oil or butter not already included in the food record.

To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 130 and divide by 100. For example, 150 g provides approximately 195 kcal.

When logging a photo, check the food, cooking method and estimated portion before saving. A photograph cannot reliably show hidden oil or exact weight.
