Guest guest Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 The dry amount, Harry. I make my oatmeal with 1/3 cup of oatmeal, and the total carbs are reflective of that amount of ingredient. Whatever else I add to the oatmeal, milk, sweetener, blueberries, etc. will all have their own carbohydrate totals to add to the overall total.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hi Harry, They are talking cooked since people eat it cooked, not dryand that is how many carbs you get from eating that portion.
