    I stick to the recommended serving size and only eat whole wheat pasta, never white.

    Yes I do. If it fits into your daily calories then go for it. I do try to buy whole grain more than white because it has higher fiber and protein to keep me full.

    If you're trying to lose weight, it's probably best that you only eat pasta at lunch time or early afternoon.

    Hell yes. Why wouldn't I? Pasta is my favorite.

    I eat pasta several times a week, just regular white pasta because I don't feel there's enough difference between the two.

    When you say 100g, do you mean cooked or uncooked? A normal serving size, according to the box in my pantry and what I normally eat, is 2/3 cup or 56g of uncooked, which would be heavier once boiled.

    I eat pasta sometimes, sure. Serving size is only relevant to what you need. 100g may or may not be "too much".

    I don't eat pasta simply because it is high in calories and I find it hard to fit into my calorie allotment.

    I eat pasta when (a) i want pasta, and (b) it fits into my protein and fat targets and I have calories available for it at dinner time.

    I don't eat pasta because I'm gluten sensitive but I occasionally eat risotto with peas and bacon... so yummy! I prefer it to the gluten free versions of pasta.

    Sadly have not touched it since I started my journey. Once I hit goal I will slowly bring it back however..one serving is really not enough for my taste buds..it leaves me wanting more. I currently use Shirataki noodles in place of it :(
    For the fam I only buy whole wheat though.

    Personally no. I get my carbs from other sources. If I want a "starch" I use quinoa or maybe a sweet potato.

    I've cut way back on pasta because I just don't get full enough on it for the amount of calories it adds to my diary. I still eat it once a week or so, though. Especially ravioli...mmmm.....

    Only spaghetti or penne. Not ziti or linguine. Those make you fat.

    Isn’t the rule you can only eat pasta during certain cycles of the moon or you will sprout a Mario mustache and get fat? (Kidding, don’t berate me with science)

    It’s ok to eat, but better if you hit he whole wheat with the higher fiber. It keeps you full longer (it takes longer for your body to break down) and fiber has a number of other benefits such as constant flatulence!

    Dont fear the pasta.
