Need your input again please. When you log in your diary the amount of pasta you eat is it the dry weight or the cooked weight you enter? I just cooked pasta and when its cooked it double the weight

I've always used dry, but i'm pretty sure some of them have cooked weights as well.

I believe you measure it dry. BUT if you NEED to measure it cooked, double the dry weight, it should get you pretty close to the correct portion size.
