    No such thing

    So save calories

    Practice portion control

    And bulk up on vegetables

    All the pastas are pretty much going to be the same.

    Zucchini?

    Most wheat pasta is 200 calories per TWO ounce serving.

    pasta is calorie dense...just eat appropriate portions of it.

    miracle noodles are a decent substitute. Spinach noodles aren't bad either.

    You can peel them into "noodles" with a peeler if you don't have a spiralizer.

    I have been buying a 150 calorie pasta (Creamette makes one, as does a local chain in the midwest- Hy-Vee). It's not low cal, but a 25% calorie savings and has 13 g of fiber so it fills you up & you stay full, unlike ordinary pasta. Tastes no different than regular.

    Shirataki/miracle noodles. A godsend for stir fry.

    Have you weighed out a 2oz portion of DRY pasta and then cooked it? Its really not that bad. Its a decent size portion.

    Sprouts and online has black bean pasta and edamame fettuccine...etc. macros are spot on. I love the stuff. Black bean pasta has 2 fat, 17 carb, 12 of which are fiber, and 25 protein. Same calories, but lower carb and high protein(: and its delicious(:

    Pasta itself isn't too bad....be careful with the sauces. I do a basic tomato (very light) in calories and yummy....

    I have between 70-100 grams of pasta for dinner at least twice a week. With veggies and sauce it comes out to 2 or 3 big portions. Save your calories earlier in the day, it's worth it for pasta <3

    Ronzoni also makes a 150 calorie pasta that is very good and high in fiber. They have a penne, rotini and spaghetti.

    Shiritake noodles are aweeeeesome. They're in the refrigerated area by the tofu in the grocery store. They're exactly like ramen noodles, they have the same al dente texture And you can cook them a little if you like softer.
    Zuchini noodles are ok, but they're NOT pasta. They're almost no calories (15 cals for about a cup and half-ish), and in broth they really hit the spot. No flavor to them so they'd be good with anything. They're almost all fiber so they also fill you up like crazy!

    The ones I got have no smell or taste. They are supposed to be rinsed. I know there are several different brands and some are prob better than others.
    The brand I got was "Nasoya" Pasta Zero Shirataki spaghetti.
