'Tender bow tie pasta with broccoli
florets and julienne-cut carrots in a creamy Parmesan sauce.' That's
the description on the cover of this Weight Watchers 250
calories TV dinner! It was on sale for $2.50 and I decided to give
one a try. I mean who can resist bow tie pasta?
Like some of the other Smart Ones
offerings, this meal comes in at about a calorie per gram. That's a
good figure to see in any complex food, if you're thinking of losing
weight. In my case, I am trying to consume just 1300 calories per
day. At that rate, I am losing about 1.5 pounds per week, a number
that most doctors consider safe. It's important, however, that I make
sure the foods I'm consuming are
healthy! That translates into a
balance mix of carbohydrates, proteins and fats! During an average
month (July 2014), I averaged 1,267 calories per day. (See the pie
chart for the breakout). I managed to lose 6 pounds, and yet, I ate
pretty well!
Preparation of the Pasta Primavera meal
deal was fairly straightforward – You pull back a corner of the
plastic covering. Nuke on high for 3 ½ minutes, stir, recover and
nuke for another minute! A simple meal to prepare for a simple person
like myself!
The taste was a pleasant surprise.
First off the pasta was thankfully al dente – had it been anything
other than perfect, I would have shit-canned the meal right there.
The Parmesan sauce also brought a lot to the party and seemed to tie
everything together. I gave this one a 7 on a scale of 10.
