Each complete bento presented on Just Bento has a calorie count. This is derived from the following information:
Keep in mind that all calorie counts are approximate, since portion sizes may vary.
The capacity of “1 cup” varies from country to country, in a maddening way. In the U.S. it’s about 240ml (236.588238 ml); in Japan it’s 200ml; in the UK it’s 436ml. I use 240ml (standard U.S. cup measure) as an approximimate middle ground, especially for rice. If you are very concerned about every single calorie, it’s best to invest in a good kitchen scale.
Just Bento, establshed in late October 2007, is published and written by the creators of Just Hungry.
