If it fits into your daily total... You could use it.

My only problem with pasta is that is that it is pretty calorie dense and it does not offer you a lot of fibre, minerals, vitamins etc... So I would be cautious of using it when cutting.

oats are caloric dense too arent they.
or you mean oats are much more filling

 

[cpush]

no, well she means that there are other foods per calorie that offer more nutrients.

so as you mentioned oats; say 200 calories from oats will give you many more nutritional benefits than 200 calories from spaghetti.

a more extreme example of a 'calorie dense' food would be a candy bar. Lots of calories in not a lot of food.

I would say oats would be considered a 'nutrient dense' food.

oatmeal will make you feel reaallly full.

i make egg white omelets and put pasta sauce n a little parmesean cheese on them...

to me pasta is kinda like eating a serving or two of flour. yuk. rice, beans a lot of better choices. of course there are always cheat meals a little fettucini never killed anyone.

no that's it just a little olive oil on the pan. very good for weight loss too. you can leave one yolk in but it really is as good without.
