confused about calories in couscous??

ttkg

I am always confused about the calories for rice, couscous and pasta. For the President's choice whole wheat couscous the calories are 150 per 1/4 cup - but is that dry or cooked?

I appreciate your help!!

The rice is usually the calories uncooked.....1/4 cup uncooked rice....works out to approximately 3/4 cups of rice cooked......The bag sometimes have it listed.....if it doesnt then I would take it as uncooked....

I have never bought couscous, so not sure what their labels looks like.....

Go into Rice Select for couscous. I have it logged in as cooked couscous. I had the same problem because I am allowed to eat a cup of it but a 1/2 cup of rice. I will double check the calories, but it is in the data base as what I write above. The amount on the container is for dry weight. :flowerforyou:

176 calories, but go into the database as Rice Select cooked couscous.
