Hi,

The only major change in my food intake these last few years is discovery of
things like Tesco Tuna and pasta bake, or chicken and broccoli pasta bake. I
never considered pasta before, also these last few years I am putting on
weight a bit, now is the pasta thing the cause or just age, I am coming up
to 51. I do enjoy it and also the convenienve of the tubbed meals as

Pasta is high-carb. Ditch the pasta and try Atkins diet.

Affirmative.

Steve, read the labels. Does the UK not have nutritional and calorie
break outs on the label (i.e. calories from carbs, fats, etc.).
Also find out what they think a serving is, vs. what YOU think a
serving is. The package will often say, serves 4 or 6 or whatever, or
says a serving is so many grams, and the serving size is impossibly
tiny by most people's standards.

Eating too much food is fattening - not the pasta itself

Steve,

Of course pasta is fattening when you eat more than 1/3 of a cup (portion).
Next whole grain pasta is better, as is whole grain bread compared to
white bread.

I miss making my own pasta. The pasta bakes never came to mind, dammit!

Best,

Andy
Pasta makes fine breakfast food if you're not on a diet, from experience.

Pasta itself isn't especially fattening, but if you measure out the dry
pasta amount recommended as a serving I'd like to bet it will be less than
you use.

However the ready made dishes you mention are likely to be high in fat and
calories. The word 'bake' usually indicates some kind of cheese based
topping to go brown which will up the count. I'd recommend trying to make
your own pasta dishes instead. Take a look at the jars of ready made sauces
- some are high in calories but some aren't, the Cranks brand sold at Tesco
is fairly low. A tin of tuna, a jar of sauce, some frozen veg and some
dried pasta will make 2-3 servings, isn't a great deal more work than
pre-made, and will be a lot healthier. Or if you must have ready made, then
look at the varieties marked as low calorie, Sainsburys Healthy Eating or
Weight Watchers. Beware though of products labelled low fat which are still
high in calories.

Pretty much everything is fattening.. it's all about calorie in VS calorie
out... however you decide to control that doesn't really matter.
