Help me, I’m dumb. When it comes to rice, do you weigh it when it’s dry or already made? I’ve been weighing it when it’s made and I can’t get over how 1 cup of Jasmine rice is 720 calories?

The nutrition info that you have there is for dry rice.
In the future I would suggest weighing/measuring the dry rice if possible. Or if you can’t, and your only option is to measure the cooked rice, then you need to use nutrition information for cooked rice specifically, like this: [https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/168880/nutrients](https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/168880/nutrients)
