In this article, I’m focusing on Brown Rice. This is also mistaken with wild rice as it hasn’t gone through any processing either. Food manufacturers general refine rice to extend its shelf life. However, the refinement process also reduces much of the nutritional value of rice, depriving it the very nutrients which make it healthy. Refined rice is not a recommended food if you’re trying to lose pounds.

To talk about the nutrients and calories in brown rice, we’ll discuss a cupful of the food which normally weighs in at 195 grams.

Such a cup of brown rice contains 216 calories in total. Additional macronutrients include:

    * 45 grams of carbohydrates
    * 4.5 grams of dietary fiber
    * 2.5 grams of fat
    * 5 grams of protein
    * Less than 1 gram of sugar

As you can see, this is a low fat food that’s not too rich in calories either. In addition, the fiber helps you to remain full and to eat less calories overall during your day.
