Calorie Confused...

I purchased some De Cecco Whole Wheat Spaghetti and realized that on the box, it says the serving size is 2 ounces. It does NOT say if this is 2 ounces cooked or dry, and obviously the weight is different before and after cooking. I checked De Cecco's website to see if they clarified this there, and they still only say "2 ounces".
I have been eating 4 ounces of this pasta cooked and entering it as double a serving size, which doubles the calories! I just want to know if I'm entering this wrong, it's 180 calories for a serving size and having to double it is killing me!

You should be very happy to know that 2-ounce serving for dry pasta, so you get considerably more than that cooked!0

I think 2 oz of uncooked pasta makes 1 cup of cooked pasta.0
