How to count calories dry or cooked? Topic

I was wondering how should I count my calories for cooked oats, on the package it says 150 calories per 50g of dry oats. And when I entered the data in the app it is showing around 550calories. I assume it is for dry oats but how to calculate for cooked oats?

Can you scan the bar code?

it’s dry oats because the added water gives it more weight and throws off the calories per gram!! it’s the same calories cooked and dry assuming you’re using water to cook and counting any topping calories separately.

so like the cooked oatmeal only includes 50g of oats but weighs for example 200g once you add water. see?
