Spaghetti hell!

I dread when we have spaghetti for supper around here. The box only lists calories for 85g uncooked. Well that helps a lot when it's already cooked and in the pot! And then the sauce from the can gets mixed with hamburger and is now impossible to measure. And this is already one of the meals that they say is worst for portion distortion. No wonder why!

    In 1 hour you can have it mostly figure out.

    measure out pasta, cook, put on your plate. measure out sauce and mix with pre-measured meat.

    I was actually surprised when I saw it was more than I typically put on my plate. Of course, my excess weight is attributed more to lack of exercise and mass amounts of alcohol.

    LOL I thought the "hell" part referred to sauce from a can............
