                                A 100g serving of restaurant-style French fries contains roughly 312 calories and significantly more fat than an equivalent portion of boiled white rice, which has about 130 calories. This striking difference often fuels the question, "Are fries worse than rice?" and highlights why the final verdict on their healthfulness is far more complex than just a calorie count.
