How many calories in dry pasta?

It's impossible to give you an exact calorie count for dry pasta without knowing the type of pasta and the serving size.

Here's why:

* Different types of pasta have different calorie counts: For example, a cup of cooked spaghetti has about 220 calories, while a cup of cooked fettuccine has about 200 calories.

* Serving sizes vary: A "serving" of pasta can mean different things.

* Dry pasta is usually cooked before eating: Dry pasta absorbs water when cooked, which changes its weight and calorie content.

To find out the calories in your dry pasta:

1. Look at the nutrition label: The label on the pasta package will tell you the calories per serving.

2. Calculate the calories based on the amount you are eating: If you are eating more or less than a serving, you can adjust the calories accordingly.

3. Use an online calorie calculator: Many online calorie calculators can help you determine the calories in your dry pasta based on the type and quantity.
