Rice has HOW many calories?
One thing you must be careful of is not confusing dry rice and cooked rice when calculating calories, as I did. Rice quadruples in weight when cooked in water which can really throw out some big numbers if you get it wrong.
Uncooked white long grain rice is 365 calories per 100g - the 270g of uncooked rice I used to go with tonight's meal is 1000 calories which coincidentally makes one kilo of cooked rice.
So for tea...
half of the meat concoction - 715 calories
half of the cooked rice - 500 calories
Total - 1,215 calories (and not the 2,500 I initially came up with)
Lunch was a chicken fajita wrap with a packet of "McCoy’s Specials Tortillas hot Jalapeno peppers and cheese", followed by two tiny chocolate brownies (755 calories).
Not a bad day then - about 2,000 all-in.
