Calories in brown rice?

[Lysander]

Another thrilling topic!

I seem to be getting conflicting information on this one. Anyone have any idea how many calories are in brown long-grain rice vs brown basmati rice? Cooked, not raw.

Yes, my life is exciting.

Nutritional information on pretty much anything you can imagine on that site.

Thanks - the rule seems to be roughly 100 calories per 100g of cooked rice. It doesn't matter what type of rice it is, the difference is calories is negligible.

Brown rice takes a lot longer to cook though!

But depending on the meal can be a lot nicer.

Yeah, just like brown bread!

Brown rice is lower GI. It's a better source of fibre. Cup of white rice has about 1g of fibre - brown has about 3.5g

You should avoid white things - bread, pasta, rice, sugar.

White products = crap!

It does indeed. 200g of uncooked rice is about 700 calories. 200g of cooked rice is about 200 calories.

Guessing he means stick to wholewheat pasta...which you should...it tastes far better!

Non-wholemeal pasta he means.
