Values are scaled from the USDA figures per 100 g. Calories are rounded to a whole number; gram values to one decimal. A dash means the source does not provide that value. Portions are reference measurements, not serving recommendations.
Match the rice to the way you measured it.
Dry rice and cooked rice need different entries. Water absorbed during cooking changes the weight, so a cup from the bag cannot be entered as a cup from the saucepan. For a finished rice bowl, weigh the rice at the same stage of preparation as the record below.
For a mixed dish, add the rice separately from chicken, vegetables, oil, and sauce. If you are dividing a batch between several bowls, weigh the whole prepared batch and the amount you serve. A loosely filled cup and a tightly packed cup can hold different weights; grams make that difference easier to handle.
