Measuring cooked rice?

[thedeejay6]

Hi there,

Might be a noob question but when I enter rice in myFitnessPal it comes up as "Brown, long-grain, cooked - 216.5 calories - 1 cup" now I do have a measuring cup but I'm curious as to how many "grams" are in that one cup? I've found a few sites that say 110g in a cup of rice but they don't mention if its cooked or uncooked. Thanks

About 200g. If I were you, I'd defo buy a scale.

edit: got it from internet and from cron-o-meter (brown, long grain, cooked), which gives 222 kcal, which is roughly the same.

Why do you need to know how many grams? Count the calories using the cup.

The most accurate way would be to measure it dry then measure it after you prepare it. (Cooking adds no calories only volume 1 cup dry = 3 cups cooked) I would just use a measuring cup and call it 200 calories and be done if it were me.

One cup of un-cooked, dry measure rice comes to roughly 110-112g. Most rice (regardless of type) averages 50C/63g, 11P per 63g uncooked/dry ~240 Calories. So I'd say that measurement is for dry rice.

I don't know who measures cooked rice anyway.
I'd say get a $15 scale from Walmart and measure it dry and just cook the amount you need in a rice cooker or something.

Thank you all for your responses. Ok maybe I wasn't so clear when I wrote it. Basically I'm asking for cooked rice measurement is because my GF cooks the brown rice for me. So she takes a cup and cooks it and then when I eat my meal with rice I'm wondering how much of that cooked rice will equal to one serving as per myFitnessPal or any app because they say "one cup". I do have a scale and that's how I do my "measurements" of rice so I weigh it and wonder how many G of cooked rice are in a cup. If that makes sense. I don't use the cup to measure but I assumed up till now that's only used for uncooked rice and I thought you know say 200g or whatever was equal to 216 or whatever calories.
