ChrisHB 26 Jul 1:59pm, 26 Jul 2024 23,146 posts	0 ChrisHB Packets of dried food that don't suggest a dry portion size. This for instance tells you to make the useful amount of 2.5 portions.
Velociraptor 26 Jul 2:10pm, 26 Jul 2024 70,116 posts	0 Velociraptor I could have been caught out that way, @ChrisHB. When I started running, and before everything was labelled with nutritional information, I read that a portion of pasta was 6oz and 200 calories. So I'd boil 6oz of dried pasta with a load of broccoli and a couple of sliced carrots (vegetables, zero calories) and add most of a jar of pesto (maybe 100 calories, there's oil on top). I'd like to say, "That's why I didn't lose any weight," but in that first season of running the weight fell off me.
