What the frick is this shit, i thought i was cutting but i was bulking the whole fricking time, i'm never eating rice again. How was i supposed to know that?
Are you fricking moronic?
I might be...
What do you cook rice in, Anon?
Water in a pan.
And where does that water go?
The sink?
anon
do you cook rice the moronic Italian way
what's that?
I'm Italian, I cook rice differently for different uses, but in this case he's probably talking about boiling it and that's it.
OP, you absolute moron, as everyone else already told you part of that water, if not all, will remain in the rice. You MUST have noticed the single grain of rice gets bigger yes? That's water.
It's actually the superior way to cook it if it has any arsenic contamination(which most of the worlds rice does).
However if your rice is arsenic free(actually tested not guessing) Then it's waste of nutrients to do it the itallian way.
t.big knower.
it's where you cook rice like pasta in a big pot of water and then dump the water, rather than have water evaporate.
Risotto is moronic?
This is the funniest response you could have made to that question. Here's a (You)
Everyone making fun of this post is moronic, if OP pees in his sink then he's 100% correct
I'm fricking dying hahahahahah
Well yeah, some of it goes to the sink
I love this board
Damn.
I don't get it
Rice absorbs the water when its cooking that's why the rice becomes bigger than it was in uncooked state.
Thanks for the laughs op
Get a rice cooker.
Generally speaking rice is bulk food potatoes is cut food. lurk more.
protip for the future: you're supposed to bang the rocks together
wut???
>How was I supposed to know that?
Advanced protip for the future: when lightning strikes the dry tree, don't run away from the hot, shiny thing.
>buy a pound of spaghetti
>WTF it is the dry weight
Yes, the rice absorbs the water when you cook it
bless you, OP, you dumb little moron.
this thread made my night
What weighs more? 1lb of bricks or 1lb of feathers?
Wait I’m confused as frick
If there’s fewer calories in the cooked rice why the frick would be bulking? Wouldn’t it be the other way around
welcome to IST, all of us are a moron
assumed OP meant he had to add the calories of both 100g uncooked and 100g cooked together
Most likely his example is per serving. Op may have been eating 3 servings of uncooked rice a day logging it as 390 calories. In reality he was eating 1110 of rice alone.
Combine that with whatever else he was eating. He may have been eating 3000+ calories a day when he thought he was eating only 2000.
>Take rice
>Add three times the weight in water
>Cook, rice doubles in size
Yeah gee whiz who could have thought there'd be a difference in the amount of actual rice you're eating in a given weight???
OP here. I thought about it and came to the conclusion that rice is too complicated for me, so i'm going to make potatoes instead from now on.
the rice is just heavier because it absorbed some water anon, you only register the cooked calories.
You still have to measure the water gain/loss from the potato anon. If you roast a potato it loses water and becomes less potato with fewer calories.
This is why I eat dry protein powder and drink pure water separately.
What's heavier - 100g of potatoes or 100g of rice?
Rice ofc
Potato is heavier than rice
100g of potatoes since it sinks, while 100g of rice floats
morons
Dude, just use the dry weight any time you're logging pasta, rice, lentils, etc.
>weigh the dry food
>use calorie value for dry food
There. It's that easy.
No matter how much or how little water your pasta/rice absorbs, you will know its calories because you measured it BEFORE you added water. If you're batch cooking / meal prep, then you just divide the total by the number of portions
ie
>measure 600g of dry rice
>dry rice is 130kcal per 100g, so 6x130 = 780kcal
>cook rice, use it to prepare 5 portions of rice+chicken or whatever
>780 / 5 = 156kcal
It's that easy
>he doesn't know
Nobody tell him about the mathematics involved in boiling potatoes
Potatoes also make you retain fat so its not great for cutting, carrots and kale salad with bits of chicken, that's the way.
What the frick are you saying? If you eat 100g of cooked rice, count it as 100g cooked rice, if you weigh it beforehand, count it as uncooked. Its not fricking hard
I am so confused. Why does uncooked rice have more calories than cooked? Why would you eat uncooked rice? Does OP eat uncooked rice? What does water weight have to do with anything regarding calories?
Alright. So when you cook rice, that rice absorbs the water you cook it in. Measure out 100g of uncooked rice, cook it, and you'll end up with roughly 300g of cooked rice. It is heavier because it's full of water.
Wow I didn't comprehend the 100g part of OP's post. It made no sense to me before.
Rice usually triples in size when cooked. The total amount of calories stays the same, it's the volume that changes. You can count the calories of a cup of rice if you want, but that'll turn in to 3 cups, and most people won't eat three cups of rice in one sitting.
I personally take the calories of one cup of rice and just add it to my total daily intake instead of worrying about how much rice is in each meal.
I barely touch carbs when I cut aside from fruit
Kek thats the worst carb unless it contains below 5g of fructose.
What the frick? Where did the calories go? You telling me pic related is actually correct?
What the frick even is that? How do you boil calories out of something, is that some kind of witchcraft?
no that pic is nonsense and this isn't the same
the rice absorbs the water, so the same amount of rice with the same amount of calories weighs more, so now there's less calories per x weight.
No. The picture is dumb. It doesn't matter if you eat food hot or cold. You cannot boil calories out of food.
You have 100g of rice. You cook it with 150g of water. Rice has ~400 calories. Water has 0 calories.
So now you have 250g of cooked rice which is still ~400 calories because its just rice and water.
100g of rice out of 250g pot is 40%, and 40% of total 400 cal is 160 cal.
The caloric bioavailability of lots of foods change. Aside from parasites and disease, there is a reason most cultures cook food. Cooking increases how much energy we can utilize for each unit of food. While the actual ammount of calories is the same; drying and pulverizing cooked vs uncooked carrots, and then setting fire to each of them will release the same ammount of energy. But if you eat a pound of raw carrots, you'll gain less energy than if you ate the same carrots boiled.
Yeah because its hot, as it cools down the calories increase, so you gotta eat it hot
how much is one measuring cup of uncooked rice
Finally, a good fricking thread
I wish every seller that gives calories for cooked rice/pasta but not for uncooked a slow, painful death. Who the frick weighs shit after it's cooked? Not to mention it doesn't have to absorb as much water everytime so it's not nearly as accurate as measuring dry.
frick I just realised ive been doing the same thing
Luckily I know of a superfood that has the same caloric density, dry or wet!
Best of all, it's totally free!
If you really want to blow your mind. I was trying to find the calories of a bone in chicken thigh with skin. I cooked it in an air fryer with no oil or anything. So I weigh it before cooking 10oz. I weigh it after cooking 5oz. I cut it up and weigh the bone 0.5 oz. So I'm left with a thigh that is 9.5oz uncooked or 4.5oz cooked. I try to look up different entries in my fitness pal. I'm starting to get annoyed because they are wildly different. I'm searching online. I'm looking at usda calories. At this point I'm frustrated and I don't get why this is so hard. I eventual settle on a uncooked thigh with skin that seems to be close to what I think it should be and the usda numbers if I use not the raw weight but the cooked weight. At this point I accept it and move on. Rice and uncooked pasta got nothing in trying to figure out calories for a cooked bone in chicken thigh.
Kek I had the same problem. I just gave up counting calories and follow my weight daily instead.
>. I cut it up and weigh the bone 0.5 oz. So I'm left with a thigh that is 9.5oz uncooked or 4.5oz cooked.
anon, the bone also loses fat + water during cooking
>I'm starting to get annoyed because they are wildly different.
They are wildly different because the thigh is the most variable part of the chicken when it comes to fat content.
If you're trying to track calories with high accuracy, use the leanest cuts of meat you can find and get your fat from more easily measurable sources.
weigh the whole thing and log as raw chicken thigh calories
weigh the bones after eating
subtract from the log
so complicated
toast in epic breadd
Man I must be eating 3k calories in just rice
the pores of the rice absorb the water
Dude my nutritional label for my white rice says 357kcal for 100g serving, since I'm cutting I literally try my best to stay away from it. I eat weetbix, meat, tuna and lots of low cal brown bread
Reading even a fifth of this thread made me dumber. Fricking hell, stop measuring shit, you c**ts. If you want to bulk, just increase your portions, if you want to slim down, decrease them. Simple as.
>You actually have to register it's uncooked calories
You can just weigh the cooked rice if you want to count that
This Black person just discovered water has mass.
1. Weigh it dry.
2. Weigh it cooked
3. Do some math n shit
you now know the exact calories.
ALWAYS measure food ingredients raw before theyre cooked homie
Not sure if b8
