TweetMeasures their food. ? How many cups, oz's of what... I always mess up with this and quite frankly I'm tired of it. I'm not a chef but I always end up making more than what I can eat. 1 cup of dry rice looks pretty darn easy to eat (when dry in a cup - i use a measuring cup) as soon as it cooks man in the rice steamer I end up with 4 cups.... I can't eat that much rice for Christ's sake. It's easier with meats and stuff...

This morning I made grits 1/2 cups...dry looked fine...when I made it...shiiit it was enough to feed 10 people... So what is the proper way to measure this...cooked or uncooked. I know for a fact a cooked cup of rice will not have the same amount of carbs/calories etc as written on the nutrition facts.

HELP!!
