About Brown Rice (cooked)
Brown rice keeps the bran, which adds fibre and slows digestion a little. Calorie-wise it is almost the same as white rice — about 120 kcal per 100 g cooked — so it is not a 'free' swap, just a slightly more filling one.
Tip: The benefit is fibre and fullness, not fewer calories; portion size still matters.
