How Much Calories in a Bowl of White Rice

If you want to lose weight, the first advise that someone will give you is to limit your calories. While we know that processed foods and junk foods pack a lot of calories and should be consumed less, what about every day food items like rice, bread, the biscuits that accompany your evening cup of tea or even a chapati? If this has got you thinking, fret not as we deconstruct the calorie intake for the most common foods items that we consume almost on a daily basis. We have divided the portions, considering the amount you eat may not be more than a bowl or one serving in a day and taken expert advice from Consultant Nutritionist Dr. Rupali Datta to chart out a handy guide for you.
