Frequently asked questions
How big is a portion of cooked pasta?
Choose small (135 g), medium (175 g) or large (200 g). The example uses macaroni. Pasta shape, cooking time and absorbed water affect the actual portion weight.
Can I use the figures on a dry pasta package?
Package values usually refer to dry pasta unless stated otherwise. Cooking adds water and weight. Do not combine dry pasta nutrition values with cooked pasta weight. This calculator uses cooked pasta.
Is pasta sauce included?
No. Add bolognese sauce, pesto, cream or grated cheese separately. If you use the nutrition value for a complete pasta dish, do not count its pasta and sauce a second time.
