I made some (yummy!) Mushroom and Garlic pasta'n'sauce for lunch today. The packet is 83g and the nutritional values are copied below.
Since I only added water, can anyone tell me why the calories have gone from about 90 (per 83g pack) to 362???
Seriously confused...

90cal/83g(dry)
You add water and that increases the weight of the meal but not the cals.0 -
Hi lizlyoung, did you ever figure this out?
I couldn't get the calories to add up to their serving calories amount, even if I added butter and whole milk.
I decided to count half the weight of the dry weight and half the amount of skimmed milk I added to get the calories for half the pack.0
