Yes.

Generally speaking, when you see things online (diets, nutritional info, etc.) the information is based on UNCOOKED due to cooking variations, however, around here, the guys usually measure things after cooking.

Are you saying you've been eating too much?

How many carbs (in that meal) are you trying to get?

Trying to get around 50-70g usually. I only eat them for breakfast and preworkout. I measure out 1 cup to 1 1/4 cups and add about 1.75 cups of water and microwave it for 1.5 mins and eat it.

Okay then. You're fine. That's about 55-70 grams of carbs. It's also about 8-10 grams of fiber, which can be deducted, so you're actually getting a little less than you thought.
