Question: Is pasta high in calories Can you eat it for weight loss

A: The main nutrient of pasta is starch, which is a cereal food, and the calories are about 350 kcal/100 g. Pasta produces slightly fewer calories than staple foods such as rice and steamed buns, so people who are losing weight can appropriately replace rice with pasta as a staple food to reduce the calorie intake of staple foods.

Obesity is mainly due to the intake of more calories than metabolic calories, if people who lose weight eat a lot of pasta or eat pasta with other high-calorie foods, such as butter, cream, etc., usually can not achieve weight loss, and even gain weight, so it is recommended that people who lose weight choose the amount and way of eating pasta reasonably:

1. Consumption amount: Even if the calories of pasta are relatively low, it is still the source of calories for the body because it is a starch product, and obesity may occur if you eat too much, so it is recommended that people who lose weight control the consumption of pasta;

2. How to eat: If you eat pasta with high-fat and high-carb sauces, you may also have too much energy intake, which will lead to obesity. People who are losing weight can eat pasta with low-calorie seasonings, such as vinaigrette, black pepper sauce, etc., and choose to cook it by steaming.

It is recommended that people who are losing weight should have a reasonable diet every day, do not lose weight by only eating a single, low-calorie food, and eat some rice, as well as fruits and vegetables with high fiber content to ensure the intake of protein foods. Ensuring a balanced nutrition can make the metabolic level relatively stable, so as to achieve a better weight loss effect.
