[FadiYousif1993]

Hi everybody,

I am wanting to know if anyone has tried pasta rigatoni and would recommend it when trying to lose weight.

85 Grams Provides :

Calories: 236

Protein: 7.8 g
total carb: 48 g
total fat: 1 g

now i simply know, and anyone who replys saying, if it fits into your marcos then eat it, we all know that but in the end of the day we all want what benefits us and get the most out of it for our body, so would you recommend it??


here are picture to help ya know which one im talking about:

You speak as if hitting your macros and getting the most out of your body are mutually exclusive. Getting the most out of your body entails hitting your macros and micros.

If you're asking whether 1 food item in isolation (not having provided any sort of context) is good or bad, then you still don't understand IIFYM.

their is a difference between an apple and a banana, see the difference im talking about here... both of em provide the same sugar content and almost the same calories but which one provides more nutrient for your body is what im trying to say.

No, they provide different nutrients. There is nothing inherently superior about one or the other.

try oats or wholemeal pasta instead so you can get some of dat dere fibre, also another great carb source is boiled potato.

[Panicatul]

I think you already made up your mind whether you're gonna eat it or not mang.

tbh yeah i acutally did make up my mind, but i wanted to get other people's suggestions about it as if i really though it wud be bad i could of stopped eating it lol.

You can't post a thread about every food that you want to eat... there really is nothing to worry about beyond macro, fiber and micro content of particular foods.

You are already counting macros so that is covered...

So long as you are getting plenty of fruit and vegetables, you almost certainly have micronutrients and fiber covered too. Agonising over bread vs pasta vs potatos is really not a productive use of your time....

Just wanted to get an different opinion from other members & Dbabz suggest that i try wholemeal pasta as well which i didnt know about, it loads up with the same nutrients but with more fibre so thanks for that :P

No -.-

In that case, I wouldn't eat any pasta at all ever as you will anger the rice gods. You really don't want to anger the rice gods.

Seriously, it's hard to see what you're asking. I don't personally look to my carb sources to provide my micros, so personally I'll not bother too much. I do try to rotate between different types (pasta, rice, bread etc) as well as between wholegrains and non wholegrains. Just try to have a varied diet as much as possible and don't stress too much over whether or not it's 'okay' to eat individual foods provided that protein and fat minimums are covered and said foods fit into your remaining calories. Make sure you're eating plenty of fruit and veggies too for micros and try to get a decent amount of fibre but don't feel that you have to be a slave to wholegrain everything.
