How much rice a person should eat per day depends on his age, gender, weight, level of physical activity etc. Generally, an adult should eat up to 300 grams of rice per day. However, for those who want to lose weight, the amount of rice can be reduced to 200 to 250 grams.
The amount of rice according to age can be determined as follows:
* **Children (2-10 years):** 100 to 150 grams per day
* **Adolescent (11-16 years):** 150 to 250 grams per day
* **Youth (17-30 years):** 250 to 300 grams per day
* **Adults (31-65 years):** 250 to 300 grams per day
* **Elderly (65 years+):** 200 to 250 grams per day
The amount of rice can be increased if the level of physical activity is high. For example, a worker or sportsman should consume 300 to 400 grams of rice per day.
While eating rice, care must be taken not to overcook the rice. Overcooked rice is difficult to digest and can cause weight gain.
Also, other nutritious foods should be eaten along with rice. For example, vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, eggs etc.
