Thread: Whole wheat pasta on a cut???

I eat it. Particularly whole wheat whole grain pasta.

I don't eat it. Instead I get brown rice pasta. I don't trust commercial wheat products.

I usually keep it to cheat meals while I'm cutting but if your going to do it, try the Barilla Plus. Some added goodies in there.

That's the one I usually get. I usually only eat one serving a day about 2 time a week though.

It's not going to kill you so no worries. Again, on a cut I try to stick to the cleanest carb sources possible so I personally stay away, but it sure the hell isn't going to do much incorporated into a perfect diet.

Well, actually I am trying to bulk a little right now. It's actually incorporated into my daily diet but most days I just have brown rice instead because I prefer it.

Nice. When I get to the maintenance/bulking phase, I will most definitely get more creative with my food options. Right now it's all about consistency and cleanliness.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I eat oatmeal and brown rice as my two primary carb sources. I am on a cut, and eat pretty damn clean.

Then as us ginzo's like to say, mangia mangia.

Is brown rice pasta, a good carb source to eat everyday on a cut?

Not as good as just brown rice but a few times a week is fine.

I have a related question. Why does everyone talk about whole wheat pasta when there's whole grain pasta? No one eats white bread or white rice, so why eat white pasta?

just watch your serving size, as it is easy as hell to overeat pasta.

lentil pasta is pretty good too.
