Dave the nutrition data I have for 1/4 cup dry couscous is:210 calories, 0
fat, 43g carbohydrates, 7g protein.  We like it for lunch or dinner, if you
add the water about 1/2 to 1 hour ahead you don't even need to cook it. It
compares very favorably to corn pasta with almost the same carbs, and twice
the protein.
