Yes, I'm doing the Atkins diet and I like to eat rice. Please help me out. Right now how I am trying to cut back is by using an icecream scooper to scoop two scoops of rice. Previous to this I used to just scoop the load of rice out of the rice cooker using a rice spatula type of device.

Anyways, I would like to know how much is 20g of rice as far as portions go.

Thanks in advance!
 
Low in calories, eggplant has about 30 calories per cup and is high in carbohydrates. Containing traces of several nutrients, eggplant is a good source of potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin B-complex. Erroneously thought to be a meat replacement, the eggplant provides only a fraction of the protein contained in meat. Only eggplant's texture and bulk can be considered for its "meat substitute" reputation. Eating five daily servings of fruits and vegetables lowers the chances of cancer. A recent study found that eating nine or ten daily servings of fruits and vegetables, combined with three servings of low-fat dairy products, effectively lowered blood pressure.
 
Of course it's healthy.

You're hard pressed to eat any edible raw plant matter that isn't good for you.

As for vitamins and minerals, it appears that eggplant is high in Potassium and Vitamin A, with much smaller levels of everything else.

Ok so I'm guessing I shouldn't eat it if I'm trying to do the low carb thing, right? How about zucchini?

for fscks sake.

You could stuff your mouth with eggplant all day every day for a month and you wouldn't gain a pound. 😛

But seriously, a serving of eggplant contains 5g of carbs, hardly significant.

Zucchini contains ~3g carbs.

Seriously though. Eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want. It's simple, processed sugars and starches that you want to avoid.

20 grams before cooking or after cooking??
Big difference - about 3 times as much if before instead of after.
 
Oh, and 20 grams would be 1/50th of a kilogram... so, it's 1/50th of 2.2 pounds. So, 2.2/50 darn it... I'll just turn on the calculator...

.704 ounces.
A mouthful?

I think a rice scooper(the plastic spatula-like one) is a little less than 20 grams.

How much would a scoop from an icecream scooper be?

We're talking about dry rice here, right?

I imagine they vary.

Ok, look...

In 1/2 cup of uncooked long grain white rice, there are 74g carbs.

1/4 a cup would be 37g.

1/8 a cup would be 18.5g.

1/8 a cup is 2 tablespoons.

Rice isn't 100% carbs. In a 100g serving, there are only ~81g carbs.
 
Cooked...

There are 45g carbs in 1 cup of cooked long grain rice.

1/2 cup would be 22.5g.

1/2 cup is 8 tablespoons.

😛

Do you mean there is 28g of rice in an oz, or just 28g in an oz? The latter would depend on the material in question.. heh.
