FAQ
How many calories are in white rice?
Cooked white rice has about 130 kcal per 100 g. A typical 1 cup cooked portion (around 158 g) is roughly 205 kcal.
How many calories are in 1 cup of cooked white rice?
About 205 kcal for a level cup (around 158 g). A heaped cup closer to 200 g can be 260 kcal or more.
Why is uncooked rice so much higher in calories?
Dry rice is around 360 kcal per 100 g because it has no water yet. It roughly triples in weight when cooked, which is why cooked rice lands near 130 kcal per 100 g.
Does adding oil or sauce change the calories?
Yes. Frying the rice or stirring in butter can add 50-100 kcal, and sauces like teriyaki or soy add carbs on top of the rice.
Can SpoonCheck estimate my rice portion from a photo?
Yes. A photo helps estimate the cooked weight and any visible oil or sauce, so you don't have to measure every cup.
