A silly question re: grams into mls

[gemgems]

Hello all

I am new to calorie counting having always done SW but wanted to give it a go and in 1 week I have lost 5lbs which I am over the moon about.

I do have a question though and wondered if someone could help me............

I am a bit confused! Last night DH wanted cottage pie and we always use the Colmans mix for this. However the kcals on the pack showed per 100g and the dried weight was 42g but made up with water it was 300mls argh!

Can someone please explain to me how I work this out?

Thank you all in advance.

I believe the conversion rate is 1 to 1. So would be 300g. I could me wrong though x

You're only mixing the dry mix with water so just count the grams. The info is there on the packet

take the 100g value - divide by 100 (to get how many calories is in 1g of the stuff), then multiply by 42 (to get 42g!) et voila
