White Rice has 206 calories per serving (1 cup cooked (158g)).
Rice is a calorie-dense carb — that's not bad, it just means portion awareness matters. One cup cooked is reasonable; the trouble usually comes from restaurants serving 2-3 cups without telling you.
No single food makes you gain weight — your overall calorie balance does. Rice is a perfectly fine carb source. Just know that a restaurant portion is often 2-3 cups (400-600 cal), not the single cup you might assume.
