How many calories are in one cup of brown rice?!
Answers: I was SO hungry, and I did really well on diet, exercise and water today. But I was so hungry I ate a cup of brown rice with some boneless skinless chicken pieces and two tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce. I know the chicken and the sauce combined was 170 calories. How many are in the brown rice? The package said 1/4 cup dry is the serving size, but I fixed it according to the directions which called for one cup of dry rice. I ate one cup of COOKED rice.
There are 216 in a one cup serving. The great thing is that you had a lot of fiber and lots of great vitamins. You made a great choice!

Rice doubles in volume when cooked, so 1 serving raw rice (1/4 cup)
= 1/2 cup cooked rice..
What you ate would be 4 servings raw rice. Go back to the label, & see how many calories 1 serving has. Multiply that by 4.
