Sometimes I get confused by reading labels. Sometimes the labels will say something is a certain amount of calories but everything online says differently. So I don't know what the issue is. For example I cooked up a bunch of brown rice tonight so I can have it for a side during the week. The label on the back says that a quarter cup is 170 calories but everything online is saying that a full cup of brown rice is like 215 calories. That's a huge difference and I would think even though certain brands will vary depending how they're made that that's too much of a difference. Is the serving on the package most likely a quarter cup uncooked cause I suppose that would make more sense. If that's the case then I should have had more for dinner and it might explain why I'm 
now.
It annoys me when labels and websites don't specify if the count is for cooked or uncooked.
And do you have a certain site that you like to use (if you even do) to look up the calories of things? I tend to use calorieking or caloriecount.
