calorie counting and black eyed peas

[June2009]

Heya,

Does the calorie count vary whether the food is cooked or raw?

I'm on a diet and calorie counting at the moment, cooked some black eyed beans and can't work out how many calories they are.

I bought the raw black eyed peas from a greek market and cooked them myself.

I no longer have the wrapper with details so I've looked on ocado website for similar products and the calories differ:
canned peas: 118 kcal for 100g
raw peas: 325 kcal for 100g

I'm and .

help?

blah, someone not as stupid told me figured it out... the weight changes with the water it absorbs while cooked...of course...

I thought you meant Black Eyed Peas as in Fergie and will.i.whatsit!

Ignore me, I am such a loon.

Rather - you are not alone .
