Dry to cooked, calculated
100 g of dry white rice is about 281 g cooked. Calculated from the two USDA records, energy-equivalent: 365 kcal per 100 g dry / 130 kcal per 100 g cooked = 2.81.

Measuring white rice
This is the standard case of dry versus cooked. Rice soaks up water as it cooks and swells, so a cup of cooked rice holds far less rice than a cup of dry. Weighing dry and logging cooked, or the reverse, is an easy mistake: dry rice is 365 kcal per hundred grams and cooked rice is 130 kcal per hundred grams. The records are long-grain, regular, enriched white rice. Rice cooked in broth or with oil differs from plain boiled rice. A log that says jasmine or basmati rice uses the same cooked record. The bowl rows are Remembite typical-serving estimates (a medium bowl assumes 250 g), not USDA values.
A cup of cooked long-grain white rice weighs 158 g and has 205 kcal. A cup of dry rice weighs 185 g and has 675 kcal, about 3.3 times as much (USDA household measures, FDC 168878 and 168877). In millilitres, 250 ml of cooked rice is about 167 g and 217 kcal, calculated from the cup weight. For weights, 100 g of dry rice becomes about 281 g cooked: 365 kcal / 130 kcal per 100 g = 2.81.
Common questions
How many calories in a cup of cooked white rice?
A cup of cooked white rice weighs 158 g and has 205 kcal. That is the USDA household measure for long-grain, regular, enriched rice. Cooked rice is 130 kcal per hundred grams.
How many calories in 1/2 cup of cooked white rice?
Half a cup of cooked white rice weighs 79 g and has 103 kcal. Use the cooked row only when the rice is already cooked.
How many calories in 250ml of cooked rice?
Cooked rice in that measure weighs about 167 g, which is 217 kcal. The page converts milliliters through the USDA cup weight of 158 g, so a packed or loose pour will differ.
How many calories in white rice, dry or cooked?
It depends on the state. Dry white rice is 365 kcal per hundred grams and cooked is 130 kcal per hundred grams. Dry rice gives about 281 g cooked per hundred grams dry, calculated from the two USDA records.
