I recently came across these at Trader Joes:

Brown Rice - Organic Rice Cakes

Bobo, Would it be OK to subsistute these for cooked brown rice in your program? What would the approx conversion factor be to 0.5 cup of cooked rice?

Yes those are fine. Depending on what rice you get its probably aroun 2.5 rice cake to 1/2 cup brown rice.
