In the MyFitnessPal data, is the listing for Rotini pasta at 2 oz cooked or pre-cooked?
Thanks,

    Dry.

    If one person cooked theirs for 9 minutes, and one for 11, they'd have different volumes of water in the finished pasta, and would weigh different. Pasta weights are dry, although some have weights for cooked too. Some I use is 2oz dry/3.5oz cooked, as an estimate. That is one brand though, I'm not sure it holds true for all pastas.

    There might be different entries for that, some dry and some cooked. How are we to know what you're looking at? Look at the package and compare.

    The package will likely have the calories per serving and often calories per 100g uncooked. Weigh your uncooked pasta and you can use this information to accurately log--some database entries are different so it is good to check!
