    Too much would be an amount that prevents me from hitting my calorie, protein, and fat goals.

    Weigh yourself right after your longest sleep period (morning for most people. )

    Almost any pasta is too much for me. I have a low TDEE and it doesn't fill me up. It's a personal decision. You could have room for anywhere from half a serving to many.

    This.

    You may want to consider purchasing a food scale to weigh out your servings of pasta (dry) to fit your desired amount into your calorie goal.

    I am not a huge fan of either as I like eating lots and I see them as a waste of carbs - to be satisfied I'd need more than I'd want to "spend". If you want to use less to help you stay in your calorie/macros but bulk up the volume you could have spaghetti mixed with Zoodles or rice mixed with cauliflower rice....
