Calories/Steel Cut Oats

[messyjess]

Goodmorning everyone. I know this questions may sound dumb but the one serving is 140 calories uncooked. If you cook it do the calories change?

Nope, the calories are the same as long as the only thing you use to cook it is water.

 

[messyjess]

oh okay thank you I noticed when you cook them they double...

Right, the volume increases- a half cup of uncooked oats will make more than a half cup of cooked oats. But if the calorie computation is based on dry oats (and I think all packages list them that way in my experience), then yes, the calories for cooked are the same.
