Did you tare the container?

zero out the scale WITH the container then add the pasta that way it’s only measuring that. If you already ate it weigh the container alone and then subtract that from the 160. (160-x=what you ate)

The pasta looks like it was already cooked when you weighted it. 160g of cooked pasta is around 70g uncooked. Thats around 260 calories. Apologies if I’m mistaken.

The calorie count between dry and weight is crucial here when logging. 100 g of dry should give you at least 3x your amount when boiled.
