How many calories in a cup of brown rice?
I know this may be a dumb question but how do you count the calories for rice? If the package says one cup has 600 calories does it mean that one cup of uncooked rice yields 600 calories in total or does it mean when you cook a cup of brown rice and it turns into 4 cooked cups each cup has 600 calories? I know no one eats rice uncooked! Same thing for lentils, beans, etc. Thanks

One cup uncooked would be 600 calories. Look on the label, it should say uncooked. It's not 600 calories for a cup cooked, I'm 99% positive!
Thank you.
one cup of cooked brown rice is about 220.
