Pasta as main carb source ??

[Eman89]

I know that pasta is a low GI food but is it ok for me to be eating it in most of my meals. I eat other sources of carbs like fruit and brown rice, oatmeal as well , but I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't going to cause problems for myself.

Heres what I ate yesterday:

Meal 1:
2 eggs boiled
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 apple
1 cup 2 % milk

Meal 2:
2 oz. of spaghetti
1 orange
3 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
some carrots

Meal 3:
1 cup 2 % milk
4 oz. halibut
green beans
2.5 oz spaghetti
1 tbsp natural PB

Meal 4:
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 scoop muscle milk
5 oz. strawberries
1 tbsp olive oil

Meal 5:
100 g Edamame
1 tbsp olive oil
3 oz chicken breast

Meal 6:
1 tbsp natural PB
1 scoop muscle milk

Pasta is awesome for the carbs, but it's very calorie dense so you do have to be careful with your measurements and portions. I use it more for my bulking phases where i need hundreds and hundreds of carbs daily.

To be honest it is something i cut out during a cutting phase due to how calorie dense a good serving size is and how generally i'm a big eater.

I agree here. I use more beans as a carb source on cutting.

why would you tell someone what to eat ?
eating pasta is fine so long as OP eats the right amounts of it.

Ooops, left out an I. Time to edit.

OP, pasta is fine. Don't worry about GI (unless you are diabetic).

Pasta is fine. Great source of carbs. I sometimes have it 2-3x a day.

Oh i see lol. Yeah I should cut out all my carbs in the last 2 meals of the day. I am trying to keep my strength but tone as well.

I LOVE to have whole wheat pasta.. when losing weight, you'd be surprised at the amount you need once it's cooked..


Good way to do it is to cook up a ton of veggies + garlic, at the end throw in 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of the water your pasta was cooking in.

Pull the pasta out 2 mins before it's supposed to be finished, and put it in the sauce/veggies for about 3-4 mins to finish it off.
