Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Tomato Pasta

Metabolic Effect: Tomato pasta contains carbohydrates that quickly provide energy. Because it has a high glycemic index, it can quickly raise and then lower blood sugar, which can lead to quick hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: You can balance your blood sugar by enriching the pasta with vegetables or consuming it with protein-containing foods (chicken, cheese, etc.). Choosing whole wheat pasta also helps you stay full longer by increasing fiber intake.
Things to Consider: A plate of tomato pasta has the same amount of carbohydrates as approximately 3-4 slices of bread. It is important to pay attention to portion control. Especially those with insulin resistance should be more careful about this.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from one serving of tomato pasta, you need to take a brisk walk for about 20-25 minutes. This is an exercise that you can easily incorporate into your daily activity.
