Do cooked and uncooked(rice grain) white rice have the same amount of calories?!


Question: Do cooked and uncooked(rice grain) white rice have the same amount of calories?
lets put it this way i have a cup(49g) of uncooked white rice that gives 300 clories so when i cook it it will probably give more than 2 cups of rice or 1 and 1/2 rice.
so my question is will it give me the same amount of calories?even when i cook it? or i get twice calories?please help me i have no idea!

Answers:

When we cook rice we only put in water so every grain of rice gives you the same calorie count whether rooked or raw. The difference is when you compare them with the same serving size. Let's say one cup holds 2,000 grains in the raw, but the same cup will only hold 1,000 grains of cooked rice after water and air puff them up, therefore basically one cup of cooked rice will only have half the amount of calories of one cup of raw rice.
