Cooked basmati — long-grain Indian rice, fluffy texture.

Lower GI than other white rices (~60 vs 75). Common in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.

Best for

  • training days and glycogen refill — 25g carbs / 100g
  • budget meals where cheap energy density matters

Watch out

  • portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
  • sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink

How to log it

Weigh cooked basmati rice (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup (~158g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Plain basmati rice (cooked) is the baseline above. Oil, frying, and restaurant prep usually raise the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
