Hi, I just scanned this food and it says it has like 300 calories per 100 gr while on the box it says 174 cals per 100 gr. I don't know which one to trust as 174 seems low for 100 gr pasta and 300 seems correct but not written on the product . Could be something to do with cooked Vs uncooked (on the box it says 174 cals cooked but it sounds pretty low to me, as if i could eat 500 gr pasta and only get like 750 cals from it?). Would like to know your opinions, thanks!

    Dont trust the box.
    Pasta is between 300-340cal for 100g dry.
    I ran into the same thing with Barilla fetticine.

    Thanks bro, I knew something is wrong with it!
