oh btw i already checked on here and they said the same thing as the package says the 2 oz serving and when i tried to add it to my food log to see if i can change the serving type it didnt give me that option...
Well do this - how many servings does the bag say? take that (amount of servings the bag says are in the entire bag) and then divide up the bag evenly into that many piles. each pile will have the calories tha bag lists as 2 oz.

Here is an example. say the bag says 8 servings.

Start by dividing the bag into piles, each with 1 cup.

Now - say there is still a good amount left in the bag. Continue to divide, except maybe add 1/2 cup to each already made pile. Now you ahve 8 little piles that are each 1.5 cups. If there are more noodles in the bag, continue to add to each pile.

therefore, you have _ (fill in the blank with however many servings come in the bag) piles each with the calories that the bag lists (I am guessing the bag says 180 or 220 calories per serving (per 2 oz).

Hope that helps
thanks i figured i'd have to do that until i actually get a food scale, thanks for you help :)
