Does anyone know if the nutritional value on a box of pasta is 2oz dry weight or 2oz cooked weight? I am trying to figure out how much I should be eating. Thanks.

    Most is 2 ounces dry which equals about 1 cup cooked.

    It's 2 ounces dry. For regular spaghetti noodles it would equal about 6 ounces cooked.

    Thanks guys. I have been eating spaghetti and I have been measuring it cooked. 2 ozs cooked is not very much. :angry:

    I have always just doubled the uncooked weight for one serving.
