[QUOTE="Lupf, post: 2296102, member: 518059"] It looks like you have figured it out now, but yes, rice absorbs lots of water so cooked rice roughly triples in weight and hence has fewer calories per gram. For this reason I always try to look at the uncooked numbers as it is easy to weigh then and cooked is less well defined. Unfortunaley some of the packages don't have these and only give carbs for cooked portions, so beware. I note that rice is one of the highest carb food per weight. This is probably why over half of the world's population is able to survive on a mainly rice based diet. Unfortunately diabetics need to reduce (or eliminate) the size of the portion of rice we consume. [/QUOTE]
