I love spaghetti!
I really do. Not that crap sauce out of a jar slopped on some smooshy noodles though. No, I make my sauce from scratch, with ground turkey meat and lots of veggies. It's soooooo good. I serve it over whole wheat pasta, with some grated parmesan cheese (NOT the powder out of the cardboard can either!), maybe a little bread on the side... YUM.
But now, I'm eating healthy, and exercising portion control. Have you ever seen just how SAD a serving of pasta is? I ate TWO servings tonight, because it was so sad, and it was still only about half of what I usually serve myself.
And the sauce... my lovely, lovely sauce. I sat down, with all the ingredients, and a calculator, and the internet, and I figured out the yield of my sauce, and the calories, fat, protein, carbs, etc. A serving came to a cup of sauce.
My bowl was barely half full, and my bowls are just normal sized glass bowls. There was no bread to be had with dinner either. I did have the parmesan, because a girl HAS to have her cheese!
So sad, so sad. I think spaghetti is going to have to be a once in a while splurge from now on, because I just enjoy it too much to have to limit myself in this way.

I completely understand..I have sworn off pasta all together for a while because of that very factor.
Yes, when watching what you eat and doing the carb and calorie counter you can't touch pasta! I don't care if it is whole wheat or not. Really stinks. That is why most people have a hard time keeping to their diets. We grew up on pasta Wednesdays and Sundays, lol. Keep your head up.. You can do it.
Ugh it's not fair taht everything so yummy is so bad for us :(
Good luck keeping away from it ;)
