It looks fine. Long grain rice is better... but short grain is ok too.

Roughly you can usually say that:
0.5 cups cooked rice (~80-90 grams) = ~100 cals, 22-24g carbs, 2g protein

But they say 1 cup uncooked = 3 cups cooked.
So that would mean that:
3 x 0.25 uncooked cups = 1 x 0.75 cooked cups

And they have 0.25 cups uncooked as:
170 cals
40g carbs
3g protein
1.5g fat

So you are looking at those figures as what you would get from 0.75 cooked cups.

Of course, the simple thing to do would be to measure 0.25 cups - cook the rice, and then measure it again to see how much you would be getting.
