| 1/2 cup cooked | 103 kcal | 79 g |
| 1 cup cooked | 205 kcal | 158 g |
| 200 g cooked | 260 kcal | 200 g |
| Per 100 g cooked | 130 kcal | 100 g |

## Calculate calories for your cooked white rice

Weigh the cooked rice you actually eat, then enter the weight below.

Calculated from average cooked white-rice nutrition per 100 g. Water absorption can change the result.

## One rice serving is easy. A whole day gets harder.

Kibora helps you log meals quickly by photo, voice, barcode, text, or favorites, then puts calories and nutrition into the context of your whole day.

## How many calories should you eat per day?

Knowing the calories in one serving is useful. Knowing how that fits into your own day is more useful.

## Nutrition data and methodology

Nutrition values use USDA FoodData Central data for cooked white long-grain rice: approximately 130 kcal, 2.69 g protein, 28.17 g carbohydrate, 0.28 g fat and 0.4 g fibre per 100 g.

A standard cooked cup is approximately 158 g, giving about 205 calories. Water absorption varies, so weighing cooked rice is more reliable than relying only on volume.
