Turbo Fire Questions

Calories in Pancake Mix
When looking at the calories of pancake mix it says 1/3 of a cup is 180 calories. Are they referring to dry mix? When the batter is already mixed 1/3 of a cup only gives you about 1 5 inch pancake. Thanks!

Yet another question about exercise calories
I know everyone says to eat back your exercise calories and that you should always eat your net calories.
