There are no "bad" foods, unless they're rotten. Eat what you like, that fits into your allotment.

Don't pay them any attention. All things in moderation.

If you've managed to eat it, it is good

I don't eat much pasta because I like quite hefty portions - I find Pasta has a lot of calories even in quite reasonable looking amounts! Always weigh your food. If it fits into your allowance, enjoy it!

It is if you eat a lot of it. For me, I find pasta not to be worth its calories. Same with rice. I'd rather spend those calories on other food.

I married into an Italian American family, so plenty of pasta meals... I don't eat it like I used to! Have you tried barilla's protein plus? I like a small (2 dry oz) serving of that with meat bolognese for a high protein meal. And in an Italian restaurant I usually opt for a stuffed pasta like ravioli for more protein rich filling than dough. But that is only maybe twice a year! Calories!!! Baked spaghetti squash threads and steamed zucchini 'zoodles' cut with one of those ribbon mandolines make great pasta substitutes; for regular rice I prefer to substitute finely grated cauliflower 'rice.'

If you make your own pasta sauce and control the portions, pasta doesn't have to be too bad for calories.

I eat pasta about two or three times a week, and I'm losing fast. I weigh the pasta and I use a simple sauce with lower calories. The carbs help replenish glycogen after exercise, and they are starchy so they release slower, so I'm not hungry quickly like I would be if I ate sugary carbs.
