So I should just scan it type in 75g and use that because it says a sachet makes 3 portions of 167g at 109cals but the powder only weighs 75g0

Log the amount of powder you're actually eating. If you're preparing the whole 75 gram packet and eating it, then log the 75 grams.2 -

The whole packets weighs 500 grams when you've prepared it with water!0 -

That would be true if the nutritional information was for just the powder. However, it's for "as prepared" so logging just the powder weight would grossly underestimate the actual calories.0 -

The DRY packet weighs 75g. It WILL weigh MORE when you add water because water has weight. Weigh how much of the COOKED custard you eat.0 -

There is a option for 1g so I'll just log 75g hope I don't regret it later0 -

"So I have a packet of custard power weight 75g it says it's 65cals per 100g" led me to believe that the 65 calories per 100 grams was for the dry weight, so that is why my suggestion was based on.0 -

Only if you eat 75g of COOKED custard.

The packet contains 3 servings worth of powder and a serving has 109 calories. 3 times 109 equals 327 calories for the whole packet no matter how much water you add. If you enter it into your diary and your diary doesn't show 327 calories, then you know that you need to make an adjustment somewhere and that somewhere is in the weight of your portion.2

this....cant be real..?
like i get that sometimes labels are confusing and i think its stupid when theres a "as packaged" and "as prepared" on some things. (popcorn, for example..who the *kitten* is gonna eat raw microwave popcorn??)
but if youre preparing and eating the whole thing, then use the as prepared info...2 -
All of this would be enough for me to choose a different dessert, tbh.4
