Pasta dishes have long been very popular! Especially if these are dishes from Italian cuisine, and even with minced meat, salmon, spinach! The choice of ordinary recipes is so huge that your eyes just run wild and you want to cook everything at once. But what about the fact that many nutritionists and nutritionists advise giving up flour dishes during a diet? Don’t worry, we’ll tell you which paste can be used on pp and which can’t! And most importantly, we will provide you with a lot of healthy and tasty pp recipes!
Is it possible to have pasta with proper nutrition and diet?
Pasta is bad for your figure! This is precisely the statement that could often be heard from many people losing weight in the past. Fashionable diets advised giving up all flour products, and pasta was considered a real sacrilege during pp. How correct and relevant is this today?
The days of pasta made from regular flour are long gone.
If, when you mention the word pasta, a picture of huge, swollen and boiled pasta pops up in your memory, then we must disappoint you. The era of glory of this super dish is long gone.
Today, anyone can buy excellent pasta made from durum wheat, which perfectly satisfies hunger and is ideal for proper nutrition. Moreover, modern diets not only allow, but also recommend including pp paste in your diet as a source of slow carbohydrates.
What about calories, you ask? Everything is good here too! 100 grams of dry product contains about 330 calories, about the same as in any cereal. But don't worry, you won't even need that much paste. For an average portion, only 200 grams of already boiled pasta will be enough for you; 100 grams of the finished dish contains only about 100 calories!
So why did we think for so long that low-calorie pasta was something unattainable? Another secret is dietary preparation. What have you eaten pasta with before? With a huge amount of butter, rich gravy, a piece of fried meat or a store-bought sausage? Or maybe you also liked to generously pour mayonnaise or other sauce over pasta? This is how empty calories accumulated, which made this dish unhealthy and high in calories.
PP paste is prepared completely differently! And here are the main secrets:
- pp pasta implies the use of durum wheat pasta exclusively.
- if you use meat, it should be chicken or turkey. Fillet is even better; it contains very few calories but a lot of protein.
- store-bought sauces are not suitable for making pp pasta. You must prepare all sauces yourself according to the recipes.
- When preparing pp paste, it is good to use seafood products; they contain a lot of protein, but few calories.
- Instead of fatty cheeses, we use hard cheeses with a low fat content, no more than 20%.
Does pasta make you fat?
Pasta made from durum cereals is characterized by the absence of fat and a high content of vegetable protein. Pasta for weight loss, the packaging of which indicates hard varieties, contains slow carbohydrates, which not only prevents you from gaining weight, but also speeds up the entire process of losing weight. So, substances take a long time to digest, preventing a person from getting hungry. You can eat pasta and gain weight if you supplement it with high-calorie foods.
How many calories per serving
The nutritional value of a product per 100 g indicates the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates contained in the product. Dry pasta contains 344 kcal. People consume pasta boiled, so from 100 g of dry product, about 250 g of boiled product is obtained. The calorie content of boiled durum wheat pasta is reduced by 2 times and is about 170 kcal. If you add olive oil during cooking rather than butter, the number of calories will be lower.
