Oatmeal, calories when dry or cooked?

I've always been confused when counting calories for oatmeal.  Are the calories listed for oatmeal when it's cooked, or when it's dry?  I eat a cup of cooked oatmeal in the morning, and I'm not sure if I should list it as 1 or 2 servings, as a 1/2 cup of oatmeal will make a full cup when cooked.

It should atcually say in the nutrion facts on the oats package. But yes 1/2 cup DRY oats is 150 calories. Just make sure to add in the milk in your calories if you add any (:

No milk, just some unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon.
