Logging Instant Oatmeal: what to know

This is instant oatmeal prepared with water, so a packet's dry weight is not what the row describes. Most of the cup is water at 82.7 g per 100 g, and a cooked cup weighs 240 g, or 163 kcal. Flavoured packets with sugar differ from the plain row, and the dry oats entry is a different food.
