Thread: steel cut oats, can't figure cooked or uncooked

1/4 cup steel cut oatmeal equals 1 cup cooked

ok But what is the nutritional fact of 1/4 cup dry or 1 cup cooked?

the nutritional fact would be the same, because 1/4 C dry = 1 C cooked

OK thanks I know it's going to be the same but what is it?
xx cal
xx pro
xx carb
xx fat???

I see what you mean; their calculation method makes it a bit cryptic. 1/4 cup dry, or 1 cup cooked would be approx. 6g protein, 29g carb (5 of these are fiber, though, so it is net=24g carb) and 3-4g fat, approximately. Cals ~ 150-175 or so.

This is really weird because if you look on their web site:

http://www.calorieking.com/foods/foo...52969&partner=

They say:
Breakfast Cereals, Cooked: Steel Cut Oats
1 cup 6oz
cal 680
fat 12
carb 116
pro 24

So the product title says "Breakfast cereals,cooked", but the measure they show is when the oats is uncooked (Dry).

That is what you are saying?

yeah, basically their info (here) is not accurate. A cup is 8oz. 1 cup dry would yield probably close to 4 cups cooked, and THAT would give you the 680 cals, 12g fat, 116g carbs, 24g pro. Divide those numbers by 4 and you get the single serving numbers.

Where did you find the steel cut oats?? I can't find them anywhere!!

I got steel cut at BulkBarn or any natural food store.

If you were to add more water than the amount indicated per 1/4 cup of dry steel cut oats, would the equivalent amount of 1/4 cup of dry steel cut oats be higher than 1 cup cooked steel cut oats?

You posted in a 6 year old thread to find out if adding water to something increases calories?

You sir, win the internet.

^^^What he said.

Look on the box. It should tell you what the nutritional facts are. It usually gives you the one for dry, I believe.

And to the rest of you, at least he's one of the few people who actually used the search button instead of making another oat thread like most people do. BFD.
