What this tool does
You pick the grain, whether the weight is cooked or dry, and an amount. Macros come from USDA-style per-100 g rows.
How it works
Cooked white rice is about 130 kcal per 100 g. Dry rice is about 365 kcal per 100 g because the water is not there yet. Cups convert with typical cup weights.
How to interpret the result
A restaurant scoop can be 200–300 g cooked. Two “small scoops” are often a bowl. Oil in fried rice is a separate food.
Example
150 g cooked white rice ≈ 195 kcal and ~42 g carbohydrate. 75 g dry white rice (about to be cooked) ≈ 274 kcal.
Common mistakes
- Logging dry calories for a cooked bowl.
- Forgetting the oil, egg, and sauce in fried rice.
- Using a heaping cup as 158 g.
When this estimate may be off
- Risotto with butter and cheese.
- Sushi rice with added sugar — use the sushi calculator for rolls.
