When 45 grams of raw rice is cooked, how much is it in cups or how much does it weigh?

    It depends upon how much water it absorbs as it cooks which can vary. That's why it's most accurate to use the uncooked weight in your food diary.

    In very general terms, rice will triple in size after cooking. So, very roughly, 45 grams of raw rice is 1/4 cup raw. After cooking it will be 3/4 of a cup or so. There is no need to weigh it after it is cooked.
