Hi,
I have just had some Wholemeal Spaghetti and weighed it after I had eaten it. It was 125g worth, but thats coming up as over 400 calories?! There wasnt much on my plate at all!
Should I have weighed it before cooking it or is it right with weighing after?
Please help!!

I believe you weight it before cooking.0

Weigh before cooking, as cooking adds water to the pasta.0
