Does washing spaghetti by lukewarm water after boiling reduce starch content? I mean...will it give me less calories?

    My guess is "no". What are you hoping will happen?

    Well, yes, it removes some. That's why the noodles are less sticky after being rinsed.

    That said, it's probably fairly small and I wouldn't adjust any calories because of it.
