Calorie density
At 123 kcal per 100 g, brown rice (cooked) is a moderate calorie-density food — under 100 kcal/100g is generally considered low, 100–300 is moderate, and above 300 is high. This is a rough rule of thumb, not a USDA category.
Worth knowing
Brown rice keeps the bran and germ that milling removes from white rice, which is why it has about 4x the fibre and meaningfully more fat — the calorie difference between the two is smaller than most people expect.
