For the Pasta Lovers


So you are craving pasta...


As you know pasta is high in calories and carbohydrates, and lets me serious who eats just 1 cup of pasta at a sitting. When dining out you can expect to be served about 3.5 cups! Here are my picks for when that pasta craving hits.

Thumbs down!
1 C cooked pasta
221 calories, 1.3 g fat, 43g carbohydrates, 2.5g fiber, 8g protein

Thumbs up!
1 C cooked spaghetti squash
42 calories, .5g fat, 10g carbohydrates, 2g fiber, 1g protein

(You could eat 5 cups of squash to equal the calories in one cup of pasta)

Two Thumbs up!!
1 C Shirataki
5 calories, 0g fat, 1.3g carbohydrates, 1.3g fiber, 0g protein

(You would have to eat 44 cups of Shirataki to equal the calories in 1 cup of pasta)

Guess you can figure out what I would chose :)
