Rice Cooking Method to Cut the Calories in Half? Is this for real?

Strangely enough, it involves adding fat

A cup of white rice has about 200 calories—not insignificant considering it’s most often used as a small part of a larger dish. But there’s an easy, natural way to make rice less caloric: add a little fat, then let it cool. According to research presented at the American Chemical Society’s national meeting, using coconut oil and a refrigerator can slash calories by as much as 60%.

Do you think that's possible? Have anyone tried it?

No.

They've managed 10-12%, which has yet to be proved to be statistically significant.

A cup of rice is 200 Kcal. This would save you 20. Waste of time.

Thanks! I knew that was too good to be true
