yes,i count calories.On my box of instant brown rice it says 1/2 cu =2/3 cup cooked which is 150,but i got 1/2

Answer 1

you cooked it wrong, the water was not absorbed, or you did not cover the pot when you cooked it, so the water all went as steam...

Answer 2

A serving of rice, either white or brown, is either 1/2 cup or 1 cup cooked, depending on if you are watching your carb or calorie content.

Answer 3

they are talking about volume, 1/2 cup cooked or uncooked has the same amount of calories as long as you don't add anything to the cooking process but water.
