WW Food and Point Issues - couscous

Can someone help me figure out what a serving size of couscous would be and how many points it would be worth?
Thanks

It depends on the brand - I get a whole wheat variety from Trader Joes - 1/3 cup dry is a serving and it's 4 points. It approximately doubles in volume when water is added. I like mine a little moister than the package directions, so I sometimes almost double the liquid -

Horsey, always read the nutrition label on food products. That'll give you accurate information instead of the raw estimates that're in the WW materials (which can throw you off by several points if your product is different). If you're buying it in bulk, you can check to see whether there's nutrition info posted over the bins; also, some stores will provide nutrition info on their bulk products if asked.

My brand of couscous is not whole-grain, and it's 2 points per half cup when cooked (that's about 1/6 cup dry). Whole-grain has more fiber and could be lower.

Man, now I'm in the mood for some of the stuff. A half-cup of it is so filling, unlike most pasta (does anyone else still find it hard to eat only a cup of prepared pasta?).

Sorry, Millie, I took a phone call in the middle of that post and didn't see yours--didn't mean to repeat your answer!

Hi - thanks for the info, I had wondered because it was served at a potluck I went to and no one had the box available. I normally have my points finder with me when I shop so next time I'm in the store I'll check it out because it is very tasty!!!:p

Yeah, it's great stuff! The perfect foil for all sorts of veggies, meat and even some fish. Now you've got me putting it on my list of things to make next week!
