    I'd say cooked. You don't eat it raw. Just like pasta.

    Hmm, I always weigh it dry. The rest is water weight.

    Geez, don't tell me i've been doing this wrong all this time.....:grumble:

    I weigh my brown rice and pasta dry. I'm pretty sure that's what the package says to do. It takes into account that the weight doubles when cooking.

    Well if you put in different variations of cooked, uncooked, 1 cup, 1/2 cup etc - it's all different calories >.<

    It should state 'dry' or 'cooked' in the food list anyway.

    I really need to sit down and reassess..this is becoming all too much for me.
