Just wondering how do you know how many calories there are in cooked pasta as opposed to raw. As I understand it, starch leaves the pasta into the water as it cooks, leaving less calories in the pasta. Doing a quick google search tells me that there are 158 calories per 100g of COOKED pasta/spaghetti, which is significantly less than anything I've seen on a package leading me to believe those package values are useless unless you eat it raw.
In that case, can you take a rough fraction of the package details calories that could be more accurate than 158? (seen some decent variation in calories in pasta so makes sense to take into account the brand etc rather than always stock 158)
Thanks
