in Food and Nutrition
Hi I have a quick question, hopefully someone can help me. Does anyone know if in MFP the calorie count and nutrition is for 2oz uncooked or cooked pasta? I am looking at barilla whole wheat spaghetti.. and either way is it assumed that it's cooked for other foods, unless it states otherwise?

Thanks!

    Uncooked. Cooking adds a variable amount of water.

    Usually food is weighed uncooked. Check your pasta box for the calories.

    It is uncooked. I would weigh it dry and then weigh it cooked too and write down what it weighs cooked. I made a list of different types of grains and noodles weights cooked to make things easier on myself.
