How much rice for one skinny teen?

For complicated reasons I have to cook one portion of rice, and I don't want any leftovers.

When I cook rice for the family I always measure by eye, and I'm never worried about leftovers as they'll get used up somehow or other. So tonight I've no idea how much to prepare for my skinny 17yo ds.

How much dry rice should I use?

Use 60 - 90g per person, depending on appetite (not skinnyness!)

1/2 cup uncooked

Half cup of rice per person. If it’s for Monitoring weight gain everything needs to be weighed exactly though- speaking from experience of long difficult journey

A handful per person - sometimes we have leftovers sometimes not - appetites vary, sometimes the skinny teen needs two dinners and sometimes he barely eats half.
