Question

Are small pasta shells with tomato sauce fattening?

Answer 1

depends how much of it you eat.....

Answer 2

Pasta is straight carbs, so can be considered fattening, but it's not as bad as a chocolate bar or a slab of cake. Also, tomatoe based sauces are very good for you

Over all I'd say no, it's not particularly fattening, as long as you're not over indulging.

Answer 3

People tend to eat too much pasta. It's all about the portion control. Even though whole wheat pasta is comparable with carb count, it goes farther in the nutrition category.

If you make your sauce, you can cut the sodium and fat right out of this meal.

Answer 4

yes pasta is a carbohydrate and fattening

Answer 5

If you only eat like one serving then no, as that is only about 400-500 calories.
