Only if you ate 100gms would you have eaten 77 carbs. If you only ate 50 gms it would be 38.5gms carb  Rice is a pain because if weighed cooked it depends very much on how much water has been absorbed in the cooking process. When I first started counting carbs,  I used to weigh and cook mine separately but now I can estimate it fairly well. The GI of rice varies tremendously between varieties and cooking times.  Basmati is considered to be one of the lower GI ones but I find that the mixtures (brown rice, basmati, wild rice usually) are better still.</blockquote>
