[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1519645, member: 265172"] For convenience I would generally weigh the pasta before it was cooked, as a lot of my pasta dishes would have all the other stuff thrown in as I cooked them, so it was impossible to weigh accurately [I]just[/I] the cooked pasta when I'd finished. But my calculation would have been 50g uncooked pasta @ 74g CHO per 100g = 37g CHO. If I were just serving out some cooked spaghetti with nothing on it my calculation would be 150g cooked spaghetti @ 22g per 100g = 33g CHO. As long as you're aware of the two different figures representing the CHO by weight of both cooked and uncooked versions of the same foods, it [I]should[/I] make no difference. But it does of course depend on how long you cook the pasta for, so it might be worth you calculating how much 100g pasta cooked the way YOU cook it weighs after cooking, and work out its CHO value per 100g on that basis. Al dente weighs less than soggy! ;) [/QUOTE]
