Ever Try Low Carb Pasta?

[Av8tor]

My wife and I tried "Bella Vita" Low Carb Pasta tonight with our chicken breast. Not too bad at all. They also make Low Carb sauce to go with it.

3/4 cup dry pasta has the following:

1g fat
0g sf
40mg sodium
18g carbs with only 10 net carbs
8g of dietary fiber
3g sugar
and get this..........28grams of protein!!

Ingredients: Defatted soy flour, pasteurized egg whites, rice flour, wheat gluten, and isolated soy protein.

Sauce has
6g carbs
4 net carbs
per half cup.

Not too bad tasting and with that much protein, certainly worth adding in to the diet.

i eat pasta for the carbs

Ugh. I tried that stuff. It's just plain nasty. Gets really soggy when you cook it, but it could have just been the way I did it. Either way, I'm not trying it again lol. Pasta isn't even something that I crave or desire anymore.

If it got soggy you cooked it too long.

Craig likes the stuff. I tasted it and it was pretty much the same as reg. pasta. He says its better than that Atkins stuff.

I would never eat low carb pasta, but that's just me.

I've never tried "low carb" pasta, but I have tried wheat pasta. It's ok, but just not as tasty as regular pasta. I can't remember the last time I had a plate of spaghetti.

I find that a lot of things you eat when eating healthy, don't taste particularly good when you first try them. After a while, it just becomes what you're used to and expect. I've made plenty of changes that I didn't think tasted very good at first (FF Mayo, FF Cheese, Butter Buds, Low fat tortilla vs. bread etc....). But when I can eat something that contains 28 grams of protein and has low carbs, I'm going to learn to like it!

I just bought Atkins Onion bagels. 11g C, 4.5g F, 19g P
Add some FF cream cheese= Heaven

Taste more like a roll than a bagel but can satisfy a bagel crave.

I have never tried low carb pasta- seems strange to me.
IAB~ I actually like wheat better than regular pasta:wierdo:

Yup, except when it comes to your nasty stale tin popcorn

Low Carb Emporium has some good bagels. Only 3 carbs per entire bagel (once you subtract the fiber).
