Which one is the right one? http://fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/brown-rice-(long-grain-cooked) http://fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/usda/brown-rice-(long-grain) Also, I bought brown rice (long grain) and on the package it says 349 calories for 100g and 192 calories for portion, but the portion is 150g. Also other nutritional info is bigger for 100g. I'm really confused. Please help! ಠ▃ಠ
