Question: I make these packs of Vigo yellow rice. It suggests you can use margarine or oil as optional. It’s always 1Tb per serving. Does this package include the calories for the margarine and oil since it says, as prepared? I looked up other nutrition facts for just plain yellow rice and it was 150 cals per cup cooked. So do you think it’s safe to assume they are adding another 50 calories for the oil?

The oil is not included in the nutrition information. The nutrition information is for 1/3 cup (56g) dry rice.
Also note that the nutrition information says 0g fat.
