| This pasta meal came in at only 487 calories! |
If you're like many Americans, a good
plate of hot pasta is a must have meal as it is considered a comfort
food by most. The problem is you also have to be careful due to the
calories. Not with the pasta! It's only four calories per gram –
it's the pasta sauce that can hurt. Alfredo sauce, for instance, is
practically a heart attack in a bite! A much better way to go is to
make your own low calorie – low salt sauce and then make sure you
stick with small portions!
Pictured above was a filling meal I
consumed just this morning. It was comprised of 70 grams of pasta, 47
grams of a homemade
sauce that contributed only about 130 calories. With a glass of
2% milk the total came to just 487 calories! I also kept the sodium
levels low by substituting Ms. Dash for the real thing!
