170 grams of dry pasta (85=300 cals), (170=600). 70 calories for 140ml of sauce.

Delicious!!! Quite huge too

    I would add vegetables to the pasta next time- you may still be super hungry after eating this.

    Funny how all the honest comments are getting downvoted. This is way too much many carbs in the morning. OP will end up eating way over 1200 calories to satisfy their hunger.

    Some of y’all need to be looking into nutrition because this is a terrible way to start your day. You’re literally setting yourself up for failure with shit like this

    This is what we fall a “sanity meal”.

    It’s what you eat when you need those carbs to maintain your delicate grip on all the shit you’re trying to keep together.

    Ya’ll it’s not that deep. I had a craving yesterday and decided to have a passion fruit tart for breakfast which was close to 400 cal for like 2 grams of protein. It was glorious.

    Still ended the day on a deficit with 80 grams of protein by focusing on lean meat, yogurt and fibre. But the joy from that tart 💜

    I know you aren’t asking for recs, so feel free to disregard, but I’ve recently switched to chickpea protein pasta. I recommend the Banza brand because they hold up better aftee boiling than some other brands. I love them and it makes me feel a little better about my pasta splurges. My SO who is not a fan of any “diet food” enjoys these noodles. They are a little stiffer than regular noodles, but the texture is more like an al dente noodle.

    Only issue I have is with the amount of sauce ?! Am I the only
    One drowning my pasta in sauce? If I’m eating pasta I’m eating it fr!

    OP ignore haters. This looks divine, and pasta is necessary to sustain life. I have definitely woken up hungry as hell and eaten some basic pasta with buttery tomato sauce and parm, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

    while i totally relate to the sanity meal, I wonder if there’s like, protein pasta out there? low calorie pasta? I know theres some japanese noodles which are almost literally calorie free, i forget what theyre called. They wouldn’t taste the same though. Fuck I wish instead of BigFood taking nutrients out of food, they took out the calories lmao
