is pasta and spaghetti fattening?!
Answers:
Pasta is made of wheat or buckwheat flour and water, sometimes with other ingredients such as eggs and vegetable extracts which contains almost no fat but its high in starch carbohydrates.
Starch-carbs are also found in all cereal grains, as well as roots and tubers which include bread, rice, noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams.
Pasta contains iron, niacin, protein and other essential vitamins, it also does not contain any cholesterol and has low sodium content.
So eat in moderately with the right type of sauce will not be 'fat' threatening as good nutrition in just 210 calories per cup of cooked pasta.
Pasta can be very unhealthy if you eat large portions.
Make it with multigrain noodles, lean meat or meat flavored pasta sauce, add bits of spinach (not a lot) and mushrooms and no cheese if you can help it. Then have a side salad with it. That will help it to not be so fattening and look at the nutrition. It will tell you the correct portion size, as well as how much fat and carbs you're getting. Don't ignore the portion size when looking at the calories. If something says it's 150 calories for 10 chips and you eat 30 then you're really eating three times the normal calorie count. Don't forget that if you calorie count.
It's fairly high in calories and fairly low in protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
High calories/low nutrition = fattenning.
But there's room for everything in moderation. I like some linguini every now and then.
spaghetti IS pasta. It can be... especially if you aren't active. They are a decent source of protein but also have a good amount of carbs. Regular white pasta is even worse. Stick to whole wheat.
IT HAS ALOT OF CARBS, IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING,IT CAN BE FATTENING . REMEMBER MODERATION.
If you asking it's a fatty food then no. But it has tons of carbs. If you are planning to reduce weight you need to limit carbs in your diet
Yes, pasta and other high carb foods can be fattenting. Carbs are turned in to sugars in your digestive system.
