    You can also look in the usda database for uncooked rice. Most products differ very little in calorie content: raw rice, pasta, potatoes, beans, fruits and veg. Meats and fish depend a lot on the type of cut and fat content but most other raw products vary very little.

    And as a game you can try to guess calories of raw products. Calories always come down to roughly 4 calories per gram in protein and carbs, and 9 in fats. Plus water. A hard, dry product that mostly consists of carbs and protein will be fairly close to 400 calories per 100 grams as there’s not so much wayer inside. A water melon, which is only carbs but contains masses of water is only a few calories per hundred grams (30ish?)
