It is true that barley, as a staple food, is more conducive to weight loss. It should not be a comparison of the calories of rice and barley, but a comparison of the calories of raw rice and barley. This comparison is meaningful.

Rice is a finished product boiled in water, which is rich in water and naturally has higher calories than raw barley.

The calorie of uncooked rice is: 346? Calories (100g)

The calorie of raw coix seed is: 36 1? Calories (100g)

Although the calories of Coix seed are slightly higher than the raw weight and calories, Coix seed contains more dietary fiber, which expands more than rice after cooking. When you are full, you should have less coix seed.

Coupled with more fiber, low glycemic index, relatively stable postprandial blood sugar, body heat is not easy to convert into fat. Moreover, the body consumes coarse grains such as coix seed, which needs to consume more self-calories, and the thermal effect of food is better.
