Ok.....my brain is not working today. :embarassed: I woke up late and grabbed some spaghetti with whole grain (omega 3 added) angel hair pasta. I'm trying to log my meals and uhhhhhhhhhh....it says 2oz is a serving. I didn't scale it and I don't have a scale here :grumble: How much is 2 oz. of pasta? What does it look like? And I'm guessing it's 2oz of uncooked pasta that the box is referring to as a serving so ummmmm how much is that for cooked pasta? :smokin:

I haven't ate pasta for soooooo long but thought I would try this whole grain stuff and now I don't even know how much to eat. :embarassed:

So confused :laugh: :embarassed: I need my coffee today :drinker: :smokin:

    Back in June I had pasta in the 1st week-where I ate, wrote down, but didnt log anything. Just ate normal so I could see my reality.

    Well I ate 1/2 box of penne pasta. 8 oz dry!!! I had my entire days calories in one sitting! (of course that didnt include the 2 meatballs and 1 Italian sausage too!)

    My, how things have changed!

    yeh tam, i try to stick to pasta on work out days too. I love my sketties!! The tomato sauce is really good for you and now of course I use very low fat meat and egg whites and if in the mood for italian sausage I get turkey (thanks for the tip!)

    but i still have to weigh my pasta or I will end up eating like fred flintstone!

    Tell me about it...I love pasta :love:

    Why you think I stayed away from it for so long? :embarassed:

    I used to get a big plate and basically fill the plate where very little of the plate was showing and put a whole bunch of sauce on it....and eat most of it (what I didn't eat I would give to the dog) :embarassed:

    But I can't eat like I used to....Thank GOD!!! :drinker: :laugh:

    I get full so quick. My fiance always says "but, you barely even ate anything":happy:

    Me too. We stopped going out to eat, so no real leftovers for him anymore. He gives me the :grumble: when I measure his pasta. I give him 2 servings and feel this is plenty....for some reason he THINKS he is an adult and should be able to make his own decision...what can i say:laugh:

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves pasta! That's always been my weakness! I do enjoy the new whole wheat pastas though! They're yummy and very filling in a small amount compared to white pasta!
