is 200g of raw and then cooked rice alot?

[birdmanjr]

i just had 200g of raw and then cooked rice a few minutes, feels like my stomach has reached its maximum. is 200g of rice usually that much? or am i weighing it wrongly?

[DHSH]

200 is a fair amount to eat at once, yes; but easily done by lots of people... How could you be weighing it wrong?

[birdmanjr]

after when its cooked, the amount just looks unbelievable... and its CHO content is only 156g. heres a picture btw :

Honestly I have about that same amount of rice every day (split into two portions that I eat with two meals during the day). You should be fine imo although you might want to consider splitting that between two meals (the rice I mean) if you're having issues getting all that down at once.

im having a hard time understanding the reason for the question.

Compared to a protein bar, yes its a lot of food. Compared to a whole chicken, 1lb of green beans, 200 grams of oats, no its not a lot.

what do you mean only 156g? That is an insane amount of carbs in one meal. A huge plate of rice gives you a huge amount of cho.

For real, 160g of carbs is about as high as I go for the ENTIRE days worth of carbs.

:O Meet the quota for Protein and fat /rest carbs.

Carbs is and never will be dangerous. BELIEVE IT

[BloodySalad]

It's a lot if you're cutting.
Not a lot if you're bulking.

Somewhere in the middle if you don't give a crap.

[HevEw8]

200g of raw rice is circa 7 oz, cooked (adding the water weight) would be close to a pound of rice I would imagine or 500g+ ... I always just measure mine by cups AFTER cooking... 1 cup is roughly 45g carbs

[birdmanjr]

well im on a bulk atm, so 340g CHO a day for me.

[chameleonism]

Cutting at 200-225g carbs a day. Nothing wrong with carbs! I like having tons of energy and feeling full all day!

I prefer to eat more protein and fat with 100-150g of carbs.

I eat a lot more carbs when I bulk.

BELIEVE IT or Not. Carbohydrates can be addictive to some people, which is why some people prefer to taper it down. Since I made "Carbs" as a least priority, I never have cravings for sweets/carbs.

keep it simple brah, no need to use a scale

cook rice in bulk, use a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup of cooked rice,

equals out to be approx 50g carbs / 5g protein / 0g fat ~220calories

and have however many cups you desire to fill up your macros

edit: sorry. didnt relaise pic was so big lmao

[birdmanjr]

keep it simple brah

cook rice in bulk, use a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup of cooked rice,

and it equals out to be approx 50g carbs, and traces of a couple grams of protein in there too.

hmm

edit: sorry. didnt relaise pic was so big lmao

hmm but i think it would be more accurate, if you weigh it raw before you get it cooked. no?

1 cup on the packet macros refers to a weight amount, 1 cup (measuring) doesn't equal the weight listed

[Flex500]

absolutely the most accurate why to cook rice, oats, and other dry food is to measure dry. For "wet" food like chicken breast you measure cooked. Of course if you are bulking and give or take some carbs, fat, or protein isn't a huge deal then as long as you are conistent your probably good.

In contest prep mode or something like that dry foods measure dry wet foods measure cooked.

I don't think anyone thinks there is anything "wrong" per say with carbs. Just making the point that 160ish in one meal is generally considered "a lot". "A lot" doesn't mean bad or wrong it just means a lot...and like I said nothing wrong with that.


Many just can't eat on lots of carbs. My contest prep starts at 260 a day and at 7 weeks out today they are 100 a day and will be down to 80 a day in a week. I am just too hungry all the time on higher carbs. I don't know if you mean "full" as in your stomach or muscles. If you are referring to your stomach it doesn't work that way for many. Most are fuller when they can eat 6 whole eggs in the morning and night during a prep like I am doing now rather than scarfing down carbs and being hungry 20 minutes later.

If you are referring to yoru muscles feeling "full"...well I can't argue with that. Until my saturday carb up I'm pretty flat so you are right there.

Dude, i weigh ALL my food cooked, except oatmeal. I'm not going to cook one serving of rice. there are programs that can calculate calories cooked. 150g of raw rice is a monstrous portion for anyone- nearly 500 calories

agreed. but it will become a nuisance to weigh and cook rice from scratch every time u need to prep a meal,

apposed to cooking in bulk and weighing it after its been cooked.

What?
Measure all things raw

Huh?? You can cook in bulk with raw weight...

Cooking methods/time alter cooked weights so it's not accurate that way without knowing the raw weight..

Example of how to do it...

500g raw weight rice.. Cook it all, take cooked rice weight and divide by 5 portions for 100g raw etc... If you want to use it for 4 meals you know the macros per serve are for 125g raw

[HevEw8]

What?
Measure all things raw

I disagree with this also. I measure all my portions cooked, but then again I based my macros on Cooked macros

I'm pretty sure it all works out in the end.

For me it is a lot easier to cook 2-3 lbs of chicken at a time, stick it in a container and measure as I eat it.

the way i've always looked at it to be the most accurate you would want to measure it at the point where you know the weight will be constant. Most of the time that means raw because cooking changes the amount of water in it.

But as with all things, consistency is key.

yup, say if you wanted to have some curry chicken tonight, what i would do is weigh the chicken raw first instead of having it cooked with the gravy on and weighing it.

Wait you said you were having curry..yet when you mentioned weighing it cooked you said "with the gravy on". This is confusing me, are you talking about curry or a different kind of sauce. Please be more clear in any future posts.
