Whole-grain brown rice — fiber-bearing version of white rice.
Slower-digesting than white. Slightly fewer calories per gram cooked. Better for steady energy meals; white rice better post-workout.
Best for
- training days and glycogen refill — 26g 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 brown rice (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup cooked (~195g) 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
The numbers above are for plain brown rice (cooked). Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Plain steamed / boiled | ~123 | Matches the page numbers |
| Cooked with oil or butter | ~145–175 | Fat mixed through the grains |
| Fried / restaurant style | ~160–200 | Oil + sauce |
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.
