I made some Jasmine rice the other day for dinner.
On the package it said that 1/4 cup was 70 calories.
This simple statement started the biggest confusion on serving size I've ever had!
My issue was this: 1/4 cup of dry rice is 1/2 cup of cooked rice and the package didn't specify whether the serving size was dry or cooked.
I asked everyone I could think of... Facebook, Caloriecount, my hubs... Everyone kept coming up with different answers.
Finally I got in contact with a nutritionist through caloriecount and managed a straight answer!
1/4 cup dry is 70 calories, so is 1/2 cup cooked! The calorie content doesn't change unless you use broth or something like that. The same goes for pastas too. I know it was a big question I needed answered clearly so I thought you might too.
