When we talk about portions with rice! Do we measure it dry uncooked or is it cooked?

    Weighing grains dry is generally the most accurate way to measure how much you're eating.

    Whatever the container it came in says. I think most give information based on uncooked, but maybe that's just the rice I buy.

    For meal prep, I measure out the exact grams of dry rice. When it is done cooking, I divide it up without re-weighing it.
    If I eat my boyfriends pre-made rice, I measure it out-1/2 cup.
    One serving of dry rice is about a quarter cup. One serving of cooked rice is about a half cup.
