Cooked couscous — small semolina pasta, North African staple.
Cooks in 5 minutes. Lower fiber than whole grains; whole-wheat couscous available.
Best for
- training days and glycogen refill — 23g carbs / 100g
- budget meals where cheap energy density matters
Watch out
- portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
- sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink
How to log it
Weigh cooked couscous (cooked) if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 cup (~157g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.
