Just a quick question, wondering if when I put one cup of rice or pasta in mydiary, is this for cooked or uncooked. I assumed it was cooked, but then my husband asked me if it meant uncooked and now I'm questioning myself

    I measure uncooked. I don't if that's right, but it's easier clean-up.

    The package of white rice we have shows 1/4 cup uncooked rice is XXX calories. The two of us usually split 3/4 of a cup, which I am sure cooks up to about a cup each. We measure based on uncooked volume.

    rice and pasta should be measured before cooking.

    uncooked

    2oz (56g) uncooked = about 1 cup cooked

    usually around 200 cals
