Pasta question please?

I'm doing the 16:8. I'm struggling how to work out the calories in pasta as the packet tells you the grams in cooked pasta. How much pasta should I measure dry ??

I'm confused. If you are doing intermittent fasting why are you calorie counting?

with intermittent fasting you just do time restricted eating no need to count calories at all that's the beauty of it.
its think the answer to the question is just cook whatever you need and measure the cooked weight if you can be bothered and put the remainder in the fridge pasta stores well

Just look up calories for uncooked penne or whatever it is online. Easy.

I did look on google and couldn't find an answer, but thank you for the suggestion.

Yes I was doing the 16:8 with a bit of calorie counting too, like many others on here. I know people do things differently.
