% Daily Value is how much 100 g contributes to the FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4 years and older, the figures on US nutrition labels; a dash means there is no Daily Value for that nutrient. "Not reported" means USDA has no measurement for this food, not that it contains none.

- Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 30.9 g − 1.8 g = 29.1 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
- Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Pasta (Cooked) gives 3.7 g.
- Energy density is calories per gram. At 1.58 kcal/g, Pasta (Cooked) is medium on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.
Logging Pasta (Cooked): what to know
Cooked, enriched pasta without added salt comes to 158 kcal per 100 g against 371 kcal for dry pasta. The leading portion is a cup of spaghetti, 124 g, and USDA also lists elbows, penne and other shapes with their own cup weights. Pasta that is packed into the cup weighs more than loosely filled pasta, so weigh it instead of measuring when you can.
