I believe anything that is cooked before eating is measured after cooking.
Cook.
Measure.
Eat.
Tada! Hope this helped.0 -
this confuses me also, I ended measuring out 2 oz (or whatever the serving size) and cooking it seperately so I would know how much to eat. If I remember correctly, it was about 1 cup cooked.0

it's 2 oz - uncooked.
And yes - about 1 cup cooked!0 -
woo hoo and great....lmbo I had a lot of extra cals so I figured two cups of pasta but then I put it in first and was like 800 cals!? oh heck no! lol....I ended up only eating a cup cooked anyway...which was good but thanks so much I feel sooo much better now!
hugs!

I believe it is dry. Because it puffs up so much that two ounces cooked would be HUGE!!!!0
