Ok I give up! What the heck is a serving of cooked grains/pasta/oats/quinoa/rice, etc. All those dang things that give a dry serving size on the container, but not a cooked one. Obviously the cooking water adds 0 cals, but they swell up, so the cooked serving is bigger than the dry.
Since I cook for the family, I don't just cook one serving at a time. I'm a calorie counter/watcher, and this one has been driving me crazy for a while. I've looked high and low and can't find the answer. The best I can figure is that it's somewhere between double and 75% more. (1/2 C dry is one C cooked or 3/4 C cooked).
An I'm looking for a serving as compared to the label on the container, where the calorie info comes from, not the government serving size. As this again matters how much dry stuff you put in the pot to the cooked stuff. Whats the relationship between cooked/dry?
Does anyone have the answer?
