    Its hard to say what you can use to measure a cup, maybe a small drinking glass...you can buy a cup measurements at a dollar store for $1 ....this approximation, but 1 cup cooked white rice has around 250 calories FYI.

    I am trying to understand the question... Are you wanting to know how much to EAT? Or how much to COOK?
    If you want to know eating wise... Well if you want to eat white rice, I would not suggest more then 1/4 cup... About the size of your fist. If you are cooking it, and you do not have a measuring cup, Then a hand full with a glass of boiling water. Med heat, With a lid, Stir every minute. A regular measuring cup will work, and if you do not have one, Go get one. It is SO MUCH EASIER to KNOW what you are measuring/eating with a measuring cup. :-) There is no need to get a SPECIAL MEASURING CUP for RICE!

    The size of a tennis ball is about the right size portion for you.

    Try to eat brown rice :tongue: but a good way to measure is make a fist... thats the MAX you should be eating... this also goes for veggies... very good thing to remember (your fist should be about a cup size anyways - Unless you have huge hands! hehehe)

    For meat put your hand flat and thats how much meat you can eat.... :drinker:

    You see all this hand sized portion stuff doesn't work for me, because I have such big hands! Good for some things, but not so good for portion control!!
