Pasta (Cooked) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pasta (Cooked)

• Metabolic Effect: Cooked pasta is a high glycemic index food, which means it can raise blood sugar quickly. However, thanks to its fiber content, it provides a feeling of fullness and gives energy.
• Consumption Recommendation: Consuming pasta with vegetables and proteins helps balance blood sugar. Choosing whole wheat or bran pasta increases fiber intake and keeps you full longer.
• Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to portion control, as excessive consumption can cause weight gain. Attention should also be paid to the amount of oil and salt used in pasta sauces.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn 79 calories, you need to walk for about 12 minutes. Alternatively, a brisk 8-minute run can provide the same effect.
