Boiled White Rice calories
per katori, not per 100 g
The short answer
One katori, weighed
168kcal 1 katori cooked rice — taken as 150 g — has about 168 calories, with 3.4 g protein, 38.0 g carbohydrate and 0.3 g fat. Two come to 336 kcal, three to 504 kcal.
Per 100 g, boiled white rice carries 112 kcal and 2.3 g protein.

From a table row to one katori
- Read the per-100 g row for boiled white rice out of the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 — analysed on Indian samples, so Indian wheat and Indian milk are not swapped for American ones. It gives 112 kcal and 2.3 g protein per 100 g.
- Weigh what is actually served. This site enters 1 katori cooked rice at 150 g (milled white rice boiled and drained, about 50 g raw). That weight is the number other calorie sites decline to state, and it is where their answers stop being answers.
- Multiply, linearly, and print the working: 112 × 150 ÷ 100 = 168 kcal per katori. Nothing is rounded up, adjusted or smoothed — two katori are exactly twice one.
- Reconcile the energy against its own macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. A row more than 15% away from 4P + 4C + 9F (20% above 6 g of fibre) stops the build rather than shipping.

Where boiled white rice sits in an Indian plate
Among the 18 rice dishes entries on this site, boiled white rice ranks 17th for protein (2.3 g per 100 g) and 16th for energy density (112 kcal per 100 g). The protein leader in the group is mutton biryani at 8.5 g.
Protein supplies only 8% of its energy, so treat it as an energy food rather than a protein food. There is very little fibre here — 0.9 g per 100 g.

Questions
How many calories are in 1 katori cooked rice?
About 168 kcal for 1 katori cooked rice, taken as 150 g (milled white rice boiled and drained, about 50 g raw). Two come to roughly 336 kcal and three to 504 kcal. Per 100 g, boiled white rice carries 112 kcal.
How much protein is in boiled white rice?
2.3 g per 100 g, which works out to 3.4 g in 1 katori cooked rice. That is 8% of the energy in this food, and ranks 17th of 18 in the rice dishes group on this site.
Is boiled white rice good for weight loss?
At 112 kcal per 100 g it is on the lighter side, so portion size is forgiving. Protein is low, so eat it alongside a protein source rather than on its own. No single food makes or breaks a diet; the total for the day does.
Why does this differ from other calorie sites?
Two reasons. First, most sites publish a per-100 g figure from a US database and leave you to guess what a roti or a katori weighs; this page states the serving weight up front. Second, home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil and ghee — the figures here assume milled white rice boiled and drained, about 50 g raw. A restaurant version can be 30 to 60% higher.

Where this number comes from
Recipe analysis from sourced ingredients. Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate — dietary fibre excluded and listed separately.
Recipe and finished weight: 50 g raw milled rice, boiled and drained, absorbing water to about three times its weight. Finished weight 150 g, one katori.
Confidence in the quantities: high. Two or three ingredients, one of them dominant, little or no cooking fat. This dish does not move much between households.
Source row: IFCT 2017 A015, Rice, raw, milled. Energy on this row is the Atwater sum of the ingredients above, not an independent measurement, so it reconciles by construction — that is a property of the method and not evidence that the quantities are right. The ingredient weights are this site's assumption; the table rows behind each ingredient are not.
Every food on this site carries this label. What each one means, and how many foods sit behind each, is set out on the method page.
Nutrient values are averages for the stated preparation, based on the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN) and standard recipe analysis. Energy is reconciled against the macronutrients with Atwater factors on every build. General information only — not medical or nutrition advice. Home-cooked Indian food varies enormously with oil, ghee and portion size; every value here is an average for a stated serving, with the assumption shown.
