Tofu Noodles...
I mentioned this to the girls in chat today... when we can eat this kind of stuff, here's an alternative to PASTA...
TOFU NOODLES!
20 calories, 1/2 a gram of fat, 3 carbs, 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein per 4 oz serving --
Here's a link to the nutritional information:

And here's a link to buy them on line for $1.99 per 8 oz bag if you can't find them locally:

AND I get a lot of good tips like this from this web site that I subscribed to about 3 years ago: www.hungry-girl.com
I highly recommend her email newsletter!
OK now I really HAVE TO GET AWAY from the computer so I can shower and go work out!
Dr. Shrinking Violet is off for now!
