Rice is a staple food worldwide. But do you know the real calorie difference between white and brown rice? And how should you track it?
🍚 White vs. Brown Rice Calories
On average, 100g of cooked white rice contains about 130 calories, 28g of carbs, and 2.5g of protein. The same portion of cooked brown rice has about 124 calories but provides significantly more fiber and essential nutrients.
⚖️ How to Measure: Raw or Cooked?
Always weigh food in the state specified by your database. Cooked rice absorbs water and expands, tripling its weight. If you weigh it cooked, log it as cooked.
Using the CalorIA app, you can simply take a photo of your rice plate and our AI will estimate portion sizes and calories instantly.
