  1. Did you weigh out 109g of dry noodles or cooked noodles? The 389 calories would be for 109g of dry uncooked noodles. 109g of cooked noodles is only 143 calories.

  2. I wouldn’t say 100g dry pasta is a small bowl. Did you measure pasta while dry or cooked? The calories listed are for dry weight. Calories would be lower if it’s the cooked weight.

    As other people have been saying, you need to measure it uncooked. Otherwise, if you weigh it afterwards, your measuring the 0 cal water that was absorbed into the noodles.
