brown pasta = whole wheat pasta.. and sure its great for you.. a great complex carb.. its calorie loaded so make sure u watch ur intake
2 oz yields about 210 calories.. these are good foods for bulking.. IMO just portion off how much pasta you would lke to eat and have it witha healthy topping .. i mix my pasta with chicken and veggies and then top it with olive oil a great meal that hits all the macros!
try it out sometime
its healthy and clean and tastes great

I love it, and it's good for you, but you need to limit the portions. I find it VERY easy to eat endless amounts of pasta...

i never knew someone would eat pasta in milk.. that just looks so damn odd to me for some reason..
im sure it tastes ok.. but milk/egg whites for ur sauce over pasta.. that just hits me mind really weird
it might just be my thoughts on it though.. no offense,, but it looks weird.. im not going to question the taste

Like everyone else is saying, it's a great carb source but watch the portions, pasta adds up quickly... The good thing with the whole wheat variety though, is that one time overeating is usually all it takes to learn a good, harsh lesson... I think the stuff has 6-8 grams of fiber per serving, so after that one time of binging on it and eating half the box, you probably won't ever want to do it again.

yeah,
its a little bit weird, but hey i like the taste besides it's still macaroni right
as for the quantity im really careful with it and im measuring exactly 100grams = around 3.5oz.
considering the macros - the whole wheat pasta has almost the same macros as the oats:
100gr
- Oats - 370cals, 6fat, 63carb, 14prot
- WW Pasta - 335cals, 2fat, 68carb, 12 prot
so basically im eating a cup of oats with milk ))
