For rice on your plate, use a cooked rice entry and the cooked amount. Choose plain rice or a preparation with fat, sauce, or other ingredients before adjusting the portion.

A worked portion example

One cup of plain cooked white rice

Illustrative calculation: 1 cup, cooked weighs 158 g using the linked record's portion weight. At 129 calories per 100 g, 158 × 129 ÷ 100 = about 204 calories and 4.2 g protein. This example has no added fat. It is a cooked serving, not a dry-rice measure.

Check the exact food and household measure →

Keep dry rice and cooked rice on their own basis

The plain white-rice example lists a cooked cup as 158 g. That is not the weight of a cup of dry rice. Use dry-ingredient nutrition when weighing the rice before cooking, or a matching cooked entry when weighing the finished rice.

Food records behind this advice

Plain, fried, and coconut rice are different preparations

Select an entry that includes the cooking method and additions you used. Rice cooked with oil, fried rice, and rice cooked with coconut milk are not interchangeable with plain rice. If you know your recipe, include the measured oil, liquid ingredients, vegetables, and other additions in the batch total.

Food records behind this advice

Divide a batch by its finished weight

For meal prep, total the ingredients, then weigh the cooked rice without the pot. Divide your serving weight by the finished batch weight and apply that fraction to the recipe nutrition. This avoids assuming that every dry cup produces an identical cooked amount.

Compare all 94 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 94 exact records in this guide report 98–401 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 79–267 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Across 76 of 94 named USDA examples, a cup contains 169–534 calories. Their listed weights span 160–293 g, so each calorie value is calculated from that example's own gram weight and published calories per 100 g. The remaining 18 specifically named examples do not list that exact household measure.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Rice, begin by separating “Rice, brown and wild, cooked, fat added” from “Rice, wild, 100%, cooked, no added fat.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 94 named USDA records in view: 94 direct matches. They span 3 source categories, including Rice, Rice mixed dishes, and Fried rice and lo/chow mein. The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 94 records together under the exact grouping key “rice.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Rice, this page can compare 94 named records from FDC 2708430 through FDC 2708424. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

113–290 g before composition

The largest source amount is 2.6× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

188 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “white and wild, cooked, no added fat”; the higher is “cooked with coconut milk.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

4.0 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “with milk” (0.3 g) and “white, with lentils, no added fat” (4.3 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every rice.

Important: “Lower” begins with Rice, white and wild, cooked, no added fat; “higher” ends with Rice, cooked with coconut milk, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every rice meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Rice, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 113 to 290 grams—a 177-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 98 calories for “white and wild, cooked, no added fat” to 401 for “cooked with coconut milk.” At a fixed 100 grams, “white and wild, cooked, no added fat” is 79 calories and “cooked with coconut milk” is 267—a fixed-weight separation of 188 calories. For Rice, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “brown and wild, cooked, fat added”, “brown, with gravy, no added fat”, “sweet, cooked with honey”, “white, with dark green vegetables, fat added”, and “wild, 100%, cooked, no added fat”. The source formulations contain 41 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include salt, table, rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked, vegetable oil, nfs, and rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (includes foods for usda's food distribution program). On this Rice page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Rice” cannot resolve the differences between Rice, brown and wild, cooked, fat added and Rice, wild, 100%, cooked, no added fat. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 113–290 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “brown and wild, cooked, fat added”, “brown, with gravy, no added fat”, “sweet, cooked with honey”, “white, with dark green vegetables, fat added”, and “wild, 100%, cooked, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Rice, brown and wild, cooked, fat added” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Rice unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that rice is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“brown and wild, cooked, fat added”, “brown, with soy-based sauce, no added fat”, “white, with carrots, fat added”, and “wild, 100%, cooked, no added fat”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Rice source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Choose the record before reading the number

Rice, brown, with soy-based sauce, fat added and Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, no added fat are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Added-fat wording (added fat versus no added fat) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
