Vermicelli calories

Okay, so I guess I am a victim of imported foods and bad nutrition labels from different countries, and anyone that buys vermicelli noodles will just enter what they see in MFP and it will be wrong. However, I don't know what is right.
I have two packages of different brands bean vermicelli noodles. One says 100 grams is 360, and the other days 300 grams is 224. WTF!? So I looked it up here, and people have entered the brand but have entered it wrong too (putting one bundle is 24 grams when one bundle is actually 50).
Google was no help and just spit out information that we'd all entered basically. SO... I took the little bundle of noodles and weighed it and it weighs out to be 50 grams (this is the 100 grams 224 calories one). So now, I don't know if the weight on the package is stated wrong, or the calories.
Anyway, I'm going to eat these silly noodles regardless, so I just need your opinions and then I'll average them out and enter something. Bean vermicelli noodles don't seem like they could be 360 calories for 100 grams, but what do I know!?
I wonder if one means the cooked weight??

I've never bought bean vermicelli noodles. How many servings does the package say it contains?0

It could be because no one knows the answer to your question.0

Ok first, chill pill. Just because no one jumps immediately doesn't mean they're hating on you.
The two types of noodles may have different ingredients that lead to different fat and carb content. That is a potential reason for the difference between the two.
As for the difference between weights...I dunno. I would take the dry weight of it and if that's, for example 50g and the calorie count is for 100g then just divide it in half. It's going to be annoying since it isn't specific but just find a solution that sounds sensible to you.0 -

The ones I buy say each bundle is 2 servings but I don't have any ATM so not sure about the calories0

My suggestion, skip all forms of pasta
Grains and sugars are what I limit the most in my diet as they seem to be what holds me back. 0 -

Noodles are always dry weight because the cooked weight changes depending on how long you cook them. When they are really al dente they will weigh less than when they are mushy. As for the rest, just trust the label and weigh them out so you know how much they weigh. The 1 bundle or 2 bundles is an estimate of how many will make the serving weight, although 100 grams is probably not a serving, it is probably simply an easy number to use.0

All I know is that 100g of the Pasta I eat is 364 calories so I'd personally rather assume more than less so I don't go over on my calories. But it's obviously up to you - they sound yummy.gee thanks for you help. last time I help anyone.

Wow. When I put my answer above I completely ignored your initial rude response because I could understand, to a degree, your frustration when you wanted an answer. I do not believe in any way that the lack of answer was anything personal to you (unless people are used to your outbursts already and scared to answer)
The person you have now been rude to gave you a very considered and helpful response and you repay them with that. Just Wow.Ok first, chill pill. Just because no one jumps immediately doesn't mean they're hating on you.

Wow. Maybe nobody with an answer for you was around. We don't work here, you know. We aren't calorie specialists who eagerly await a calorie query so we can respond within seconds. People pop in and out of this site and sometimes people post things and NO ONE replies.
Please calm down. You are overreacting and I'm not sure why. I hope your day gets better.0 -

If the post wasn't answered you just had to bump it to bring it back up into the recent posts.
You don't have to get aggressive when people do eventually try to help.

Okay so first thing's first: where are the noodles from? Are they Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese? I have a package of Thai rice vermicelli that says 2oz (56g) are 180 calories, 0.5g of fat, 3g protein, 40g total carbs and 1g dietary fiber. The rest are all 0 (even sodium!). Now if they were Korean, I know that those are a little higher in calories, though I don't have any in my pantry right now to list their values. Also, it should be precooked weight, but otherwise I would trust what it says because they are probably made from different ingredients. Hoped this helped!0
