Just browsing www.CalorieKing.com, and was surprised to see that rice aparantly has less than half the calories when it's cooked than when it's raw.
I better stop eating raw rice then. lol
Anyone know why this is?

None really. But I'm going to start. I looked at all the rices listed there. Type "rice" into the search engine and then browse through the list on to the next page (the 2nd one), and it lists a few different types of rice. They all have about 1/3 the calories when cooked as opposed to when they're raw.

it surely is caused by the weight difference...1 cup of raw rice = 3 or 4 or whatever cups of cooked rice
p.s. since your in australia (you are aren't you?) then dietclub.com.au will give a lot of info on australian products where calorieking won't.

yea, actually it does, you think when you add salt to your food, your not adding calories? rice also loses other macronutrients like many foods when boiled,

Water doesn't contain calories, so the addition of water to rice in boiling won't alter the calorific value. The extra weight of the rice after it has been cooked has got nothing to do with it because it's merely water that makes the weight difference. In fact, if you were to dry out a grain of rice that had been boiled, it would weigh less than a raw grain of rice of the same proportions. What the rice loses in cooking is lots of starch, and it is this loss of starch that reduces the calorific value of cooked rice. To take full advantage of the starch loss, it is good practice to thoroughly rinse your cooked rice with boiling water through a sieve. I pour a kettle full through my boiled rice to get rid of all the excess starch.

I'd be willing to say that 95% of people on this forum accomplish nothing in years, don't be one of those people. It's sad,they seem to have the knowledge many don't but can't utilize it.

Calories are a measurement of energy, when you're cooking the rice you're actually burning some of it to release energy before your body does it all
