Do noodles double in weight when boiled?
If so these become slightly over 100cal/cup, correct?
Or do noodles absorb way more water? I have no way to measure its weight right now.
I'm curious because there are people who say that this pack would be closer to 400cal, but the numbers don't add up unless the water ratio is like 4:1
?????????????????

If you aren't adding anything else the calorie count doesn't change. Water doesn't have calories.

The measurement is the calories per 100g of ONLY DRIED noodles. The calories in the cup is the same it will just weigh more with water in the noodles.

That's what I originally though but pretty much anywhere you look, they say things like 100g = 400+ cal, because the noodles gain weight after being boiled (instead of dry state which is what the package label states). It doesn't make sense.

Your mum gains weight after I give her my noodle m80
>>9312562
So I can trust that after filling this cup with boiled water and eating it, I will only gain 52 calories?
Or am I misunserstanding this completely?

Let's see. The dried noodles weigh 65g. There's 80 kcals in 100g of those noodles if I'm reading that right. Which means yes there are 52 kcals in a 65g portion, even when the water has been added.

Well then that is all. Time to correct my retard friend about this. Thanks!

Your friend is probably confused because it's not explicit on the packaging whether the calories are per 100g of dried noodles or finished (with water) product. But generally the calorie count on packaging for rice, pasta etc is for the dried product since they can't know for sure how much water each individual adds. They can only know definitely how many calories the manufacturers pack into the pot.
