Pasta

Are you talking about in the database? Some entries are for raw, some are for cooked.

Are you talking about on the nutritional label itself? For all the pasta I buy, the information is for raw.

The Nutrition Facts of the pasta includes the weight of it in grams. That is "dry".

Dealing with your portion size when you cook enough for a family and get only a small portion is the confusing part, I'm sure. Here's how I handle that:

First, weigh the pasta dry, and write that number on paper or enter it into the recipe tool.
Then add your water and cook your pasta.

Then drain off your excess water and weigh your cooked pasta. Write that number on paper. Subtract from it the dry weight of pasta, and the result is your weight of water. Add that result to the recipe tool as 'water'.

I suppose you add other stuff to your pasta, so accurately weigh those things as you add them.
You can use www.convertunits.com to convert ounces and lbs to grams if you want. You should want to have all these items in your recipe as 'grams'.

Once you have accurately recorded everything in your recipe as grams for the whole pot of food, you add up all the weights in grams of all the things in the pot. You'll have dry pasta in grams, water in grams, maybe some sauce or something in grams. That number, say 2000 grams, is to be used as your "number of servings" in your recipe. You can "Save and Log" 1 serving from the recipe tool into your food diary. Then, finally, weigh the serving you put on your plate. Let's pretend that is 300 grams. Update your food diary to show that you got 300 servings of your pasta dish.

After all that, please enjoy your meal.

unless it states "prepared as instructed" or something similar, than it's the raw uncooked weight. to give you an idea of which it is if you're really unsure, 100g of raw pasta is roughly 300-350 cals, whereas 100g of cooked pasta comes in at around 140-160 cals
