So this is my first time having brown rice, as I usually eat white. I measured out 3/4 cup of cooked brown rice and then logged it into my food diary. It came out to a whopping 500 calories. Is this normal?! Is brown rice usually this high in calories? I'm having a pretty hard time swallowing this fact. I really want to believe it was a mistake in logging or something.

    Are you sure you're not looking at data for uncooked rice?

    I looked this up and for 3/4 cup of cooked brown rice on 3 different sites were really close to each other. One was 160cal.,150 cal and third was 167cal. So 500 cal. is way off.

    Positive. I typed in "cooked brown rice" into the search bar. Anyways, I'm going to regard this as a fluke, because there's no way it can be 500 cals right?

    Sounds highly off. I added 3/4 cup of cooked white rice to my journal yesterday, and i am pretty sure is was around 190.

    Whoever logged this, mixed up raw with cooked. This sounds realistic for 3/4 cups 3, but this is close to 3 servings.
