Is this right?
I eat a chicken breast with about a cup of wild rice blend at work every evening. Not knowing what the calorie content of the wild rice blend was I just used the figure for a cup of wild rice, 165 calories. Today it dawned on me to go into the storeroom and look at the back of the box. I was shocked to read that 1/3 cup contained 200 calories! That means a cup would contain 600 calories! If this is true my diet is way off. I know there is seasoning with the rice but as far as I know seasoning contains few if any calories. This figure just doesn't sound correct to me. It's a mixture of wild rice with some other kind of rice. What do you think?

LOL - Don't stress!! Unless there is a WHOLE healp of crap added to that rice I imagine that is the energy content of 1/3 cup of the RAW/UNCOOKED rice mix!

Although weighing the rice would be the most accurate way to go, next time you cook some - cook up 1/3 of a cup and measure it after cooking to see what volume it becomes. Then, calculate that volume to have 200 cals. Simple!
If anything, I would assume that after cooking you will be looking at something like 200 cals for 2/3 to 3/4 cup of cooked rice.
Oh, and you might want to look at non-seasoned rice - much healthier...
