    All pasta that I have seen is dry measure. Amount per serving could change with brands but, that is correct for the brand I buy for 1 serving.

    A serving should be however much you want and/or will fit into your goals. 2 oz will be a decent sized plateful.

    Thanks I just wanted to make sure because, like rice and other some dry food makes more then one serving. Didn't know that at first.

    Well anything can be more than one serving - just depends on how much you eat. If you make 2oz of spaghetti and eat 2 oz of spaghetti then that's what you'd log. If you eat a different amount you'd log whatever amount you ate.

    A serving is just what's on the nutrition label for each food. It changes based on the food and brand. Just make sure to double check each time if you're not sure. If the kind of noodles you're eating reads that 58g (2oz) of dry pasta is 200 calories and you measure out 58g of dry pasta, then it's 1 serving and 200 calories. If you eat 116g of pasta, then it's 2 servings and 400 calories according to the package.

    I don't follow serving sizes any more than to make sure I accurately record how many "servings" I ate. When I make pasta for myself, 3 oz dry or 300 cals is a serving for me. So I log 3 oz or 1.5 servings on the box of pasta I buy.

    58g dry weight is a smallish serving for one person. I think 50g is considered a starter size and 75 to 100g a main course. But it kind of depends on what sort of carb to sauce ratio you like I guess.
