PASTA QUESTION
So, I'm always conflicted when I have pasta and want to log it in. Serving sizes on the box & in the datebase are set to a "cup" (give or take) of DRY pasta.

8 CUPS OF WATER
This is just my 2nd day of being on MFP - and I am loving it! I just have one quick question: Does the reccomended "8 cups of water" mean 8 measured cups of water OR 8 tall drinking glasses/water-bottles of water.
