Pasta Questions.....

[JKurz1]

how do you measure it? Weight it after it's cooked and divide by 8 (total in a box)?? any secrets?

Also why wouldnt everyone have the low carb pasta instead of whole wheat? You can almost triple the portions! Mmmm

Semolna or whatevver is the first ingredient....one box say enriched whichI don't like....plus the protein is higher and the fat is nil.....

If I eat pasta, I always just eat a whole box during the day, so it doesn't really matter how I divide it up, cals will end up being the same.

If you're eating less than that, I'd weigh it dry because that's what the nutritional info on the box is given as.

And people probably don't eat low carb pasta for 2 reasons:

1) it tastes like ass (so does whole wheat for that matter...just use regular and enjoy it)
2) you're eating pasta FOR the carbs...if you want something low carb eat another chicken breast or some olive oil

Im not eating it for the protein, soy sucks, Im saying that one could double the portion of low carb to equate to the same amount of reg. pasta.....now the white enriched stuff, u got to be kidding me! lol....

Well, if quantity matters that much over taste to you, then I suppose you're right.

What do you think is going to happen if you eat it once in a while? You're going to shrivel up and die?
