Cooked farro — chewy ancient grain, nuttier than rice.
Higher protein and fiber than rice. Holds up in salads better than quinoa.
Best for
- training days and glycogen refill — 23g 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 farro (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup (~200g) 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 farro (cooked) is the baseline above. Oil, frying, and restaurant prep usually raise the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Plain cooked | ~110 | Matches the page numbers |
| Cooked with oil or butter | ~126–154 | Fat mixed through or on top |
| Fried / restaurant style | ~149–198 | Wok oil, deep-fry, or heavy glaze |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
