White Rice (Cooked)

Weighing cooked rice is crucial for accurate macro tracking. Depending on how fluffy or packed it is, a 'cup' of cooked rice can fluctuate between 130g and 170g. Using a scale removes volume ambiguity, ensuring you serve exact portions without guessing how much water was absorbed during cooking.

Weigh for sides, stir-fries, or sushi; cool quickly for food safety.

Grains

Rice, oats, quinoa, couscous and similar grains hydrate based on precise ratios. Volume is skewed by kernel size and air gaps. Weighing both dry and cooked grains keeps texture predictable.

Storage & tools

• Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 90°F/32°C).
• Keep the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C).
• Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill faster and more safely.
• Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Refrigerate within 2 hours and use in 3–4 days; reheat thoroughly.
