    Why don't you cook 1/4 cup separate and then measure it when it is finished for a future reference

    When I cook in bulk with food items like that, I look at how many servings I cook, then once its done, I weigh it in grams and divide that number by how many servings I cooked...

    Ex. 12 servings of rice cooked comes out weighing 1600 grams, so
    1600/12=133 grams... this would be a serving

    Thank you. This is rocket science.

    and also cooking it will hardly change the macros since you are just cooking it in water.. any extra weight is almost entirely water too
