good healthy low calorie alternative Brown rice?

I love pasta and would rather have a weight problem than give it up but I cook 3 ounces per person and serve that amount it is 300 calories. I make simple sauces with with tomatoes,carrots, celery, garlic and onion. The sauce has vitamins, fiber and lots of taste with minimal calories. So enjoy and learn to handle trigger foods because you can not live forever with out them. This I know because I have in the past tried to give up my favorites and I ended up with my face in a plate

I suggest switching to whole grain pasta though... I find it much more filling (and frankly tastier). Heck I had two servings of pasta for lunch yesterday (with some veggies, cheese and shrimp) and I was full until dinner, no problem, and ended the day at 1740 calories, and that included a homemade Turkey burger...

broken wheat or cracked wheat or dalia. I know if there are any other word for it though. But it helps me a lot with my rice cravings and can substitute rice in most dishes.
