I found one and could get 200g of basmati rice into it. 200g of dry basmati rice are approximately 720 calories. Thta's a lot more than 200 calories unless you're using a tiny measuring cup.
And now I continue eating my very yummy haggis with neeps and tatties
Not eating basmati rice ,1 cup rice which I eat ~ 200 calories
Can you post the nutrition label for the rice you eat?
Because I know that generally, half a cup of cooked rice -- so 1/4 cup uncooked -- is going to be 160 calories. If you're eating one cup, that's actually 320. Twice a day, that's 640. Quite a bit different from the 400 that you think you're getting.
1cup uncooked rice ~200calories
That's not the label.
I mean, if you want to insist that you're seriously eating only 200 calories for a cup of uncooked rice, have at it. But you're actually eating more than that. And it'll slow your weight loss to a halt, if that's even just one example.
But your body, not mine. Denial's lovely, isn't it?

OP, simply put.. You are eating around 500 calories MORE than you think just with your 1 cup of rice. How many other logging mistakes are you making that you are not aware of??
Go here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings scroll to the bottom and change your diary settings to public if you want detailed trouble shooting advice.1 -
I just Googled "How many calories in one cup cooked white rice?", and the websites are stating 200, 204 and 205 calories, so if the OP is measuring 1 cup of cooked white rice, I believe she is correct (give or take a few calories).

She keeps repeating that it is UNcooked rice.
I am wondering if it is a language issue, especially with the prefix 'un' for the OP? I am thinking that the OP's first language is not english. I may be wrong, and I apologize if I am and appear insensitive, but that would make sense with what I saw in the calorie count of cooked vs. uncooked rice.1 -

I'm pretty sure OP is measuring 1 cup of uncooked white rice, which is anywhere from 600-700 calories.1 -

No, it may be a language issue. I was assuming she meant she was eating 1 cup COOKED rice. Never assume!

Why are you using google, rather than using the MFP database? Since you are new here, it would be wise to start by reading the stickied "Most Helpful Forum Posts" at the top of the Getting Started section. They will have good information about how to set an appropriate goal, how to log your food accurately, and other commonly asked questions.2 -
