Rice Weight

Hello guys I want to fit my carb macro but I am confused with rice weight when I cook it. So I have White Rice long-grain. I take one full cup of rice, pour it in the cooker then I add 2 full cups of Water ( From What I have read 1:2 ratio rice/water is the one that should be used for long-grain) and then I turn the heat on and when the water comes to a boil I turn the heat down to a simmer and wait for it to be done. Let's say that the one cup raw rice I have put is a CERTAIN amount and when the rice is boiled and ready it is a DIFFERENT CERTAIN amount (larger). Let's say the raw product is 200 grams and when it is ready it is 600 grams. According to Google and other sites (Calorie Counter; Calorie King) per 100 grams of COOKED white long-grain rice the amount of carbohydrates is 30. So with a 1:2 rice/water ration fully boiled I am looking at 6x30 carbohydrates (600 grams in my example) = 180 carbohydrates? So the nutrition info I get from Google for 100 grams of cooked rice (130 calories ; 30 carbohydrates) is for my READY fully boiled rice ? That would mean that my 200 grams raw that turned into 600 grams cooked are 180 carbohydrates ? (Note that my example with 200/600 is one I made up just for the example). Thanks

If 100 gr of cooked rice is 130/30 then weight you cooked rice and calculate how many cal / carbs you will have!?

Does that take into account the water absorbed because of the boiling and I hope cooked for them means boiled because I onlw boiled the rice and eat it directly

1 outré or 1 gallon - calories / macros will remain the same

So only boiling my rice for Google means cook ? So, let's say I put an unknown quantity of rice and boiled it with 1:2 rice/water ratio. When it is ready let's say I have 300 grams of rice. In order to fit my macro I have to have 60 carbs in this meal - so according to google White Rice cooked per 100 grams 28 carbs - so that would mean for my macro goal I need to take about 200 grams of that rice and eat it ?

Always weigh your rice (and any other food) raw, dry, uncooked, etc.

So raw rice per 100 grams is 80 carbohydrates so to if I want to fit my macro with 80 carbs in the meal I just weigh 100 grams raw rice put it in a cooker , put 200 grams of water and then no matter how much it is in boiled weight I eat the whole rice

Yes, use the calories/macros from the dry rice --- it doesn't matter how much water you add ... some people like drier rice, some like wetter.
