uncooked pasta vs cooked pasta nutrients

[anthro]

Hi, im trying to keep track of my calories, protein and carb intake
the pasta i have gives these uncooked values

349cals
11.4g protein
72.6g carb
0.8g carb of which sugar
1.4g fat
2.6g fibre

Will the protein and carb values be different when cooked?

Thanks

No, there are no calories added during cooking, it just absorbs water

[ryandj2]

No. It'll weigh more cos it absorbs water but it won't lose or gain any nutrition in total. Base your nutrition on the dry weight.

i never thought of that actually, good question :-)

Is it possible that the heat used to cook pasta could cause the denaturation of some protein?

I don't think my dentist would be happy about me doing that!

its not going to matter if you denature the protein..its not going to dissapear, it will still be there

secondly, who cares about protein from pasta, just stick a tin of tuna in with it if you are that paranoid lol !
