i think ive been eating more of pasta than i thought! this is what the box says word for word for serving size:
serving size 3/4 cup (56g)dry which is 210 calories.

Okay ive been thinking it was 3/4 cup dry which doubles when it is cooked so 1 1/2 cup.
Is it 3/4 cup cooked for 210 calories or 1 1/2 cup cooked 210 calories. . .???

    The package said 3/4 cup dry equalls 210, so it is a dry measurement. If the pasta cooked is equal to 1 1/2 cups it will still only be 210 calories.

    hi there 56 grams dry for 210 cal sound right for that, but when cooked pasta more than doubles it weight so for example if it was 90g dry it would be 190g cooked so if it was 3/4 of a cup dry I would expect it to be 2 -2 1/4 cups so not too far out hope this helps
