Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For rice noodles (cooked) the split is:
- Protein: 1.8 g × 4 = 7 kcal — 7% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 24 g × 4 = 96 kcal — 91% of calories
- Fat: 0.2 g × 9 = 2 kcal — 2% of calories
- Most of the energy in rice noodles (cooked) comes from carbohydrate (91% of calories).
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 185 g.
What actually changes the number
Cooked rice noodles are 108 kcal per 100 g, the lightest common noodle. A pho bowl holds 150–250 g of noodles (160–270 kcal); pad thai adds oil, sugar and peanuts on top.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of rice noodles as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
