Can you tell me about this, please?
When I shop and when I cook I check the kilojoules/calorie content per 100g of the food I choose. But, I don't know if that is supposed to be the kilojoules/calories for 100g dry product or for 100g cooked product, as in oats, rice, or Quinoea seeds. Do you know? I would really appreciate if someone can give me the accurate information about this because it greatly impacts on the amount of food I can have. Thanks folks.
So you are saying that the calories is for e.g. 100g dry oats, as in the packet, and not for 100g cooked oats (without any additives).

The items you mention would have the same calories cooked or uncooked. But, you would have to add the calorie count of whatever you cooked them in.
If you cook quinoea in chicken stock, you would calculate the amount of stock you used and count those calories also. Oatmeal is cooked in water, so no extra calories would be added, except the milk or sugar you put on it when you serve it.

It is the product, so whatever you add to them you have to increase it accordingly.
If you take some rice and cooke as is it meets their guide, but if you load it up with soy sauce, and some chopped eggs you have to factor that in.
