If you love spaghetti .... looksie here

I have found a great high protein, whole wheat pasta that tastes wonderful. We had spaghetti and meatballs tonight for supper and the pasta had 10 grams of protein per 2 oz serving. I probably only had a half of a serving but it is much better than the regular angel hair pasta. I found it at Walmart but I bet Safeway and Albertson's have it too. Here are the STATs Barilla Plus angel hair pasta Serving Size: 2 oz Total Fat: 2 g Saturated Fat: 0.5 g Cholesterol: 0 g Sodium: 25 mg Total Carbs: 36 Dietary Fiber: 4 g Sugars: 2 g Protein: 10 g I hope this is of benefit to someone but it was really tasty and my pouch actually tolerated it. Normally, I don't tolerate pasta that well. So between the pasta and the 5 little meatballs, I had 30 g of protein in this supper.

Hi Kim - I've been eating this stuff for some time. They do have it at Albertson's and Safeway -- Fred Meyer too, I think. It tastes just about the same as regular pasta as far as I can tell, and it has lots of fiber. Linda

That stuff is just so yummy. I am glad I've found a pasta that I can tolerate ... as long as I eat slowly.

Thanks for the tip Kim. Great to know. I'm building on my list of items that I want to add to my LIST in my fitday.com account and I'll be sure to add that in as an item to try when I have the "clearance" to do so. Darla

Hey Darla, I think once you get the okay, you will love it. I was a big pasta person preop ... pasta and bread. I don't do much, if any, bread but I am so glad I found pasta that I can tolerate.

I can relate. I was a carbo addict too so really need ot focus like you are to break that nnasty habit that got me in to trouble in the first place and find good things like you have done here. Still I have to focus on disipline for sure; I'm sure I'm not alone on that one. I really appreciate that you shared this with us, these hints are most helpful. Hopefully I will be able to tollerate it too. Time will tell. 8 more days to Stage 3 for me. Darla

I honestly think that is why most of us are in this boat. Most of us were carboholics. I know I was and I sometimes struggle with craving them, not too badly but sometimes I do. Stage 3 will be here before you know it! Congrats for you!
