I just ate a cup of pasta with a tuna/tomato sauce. It was SO very good. The pasta mixture was in the freezer, and I had not eaten a good lunch. SOOO, I defrosted it and ate it. I have no idea how to put this information in my calorie counter and I am ashamed of myself for eating it. I have not had pasta since banding. I am disgusted with myself! What do I need to do to get back on the wagon.

Wow, you are being very hard on yourself,,,,you ate nutritiously and not high calorie so please stop beating yourself up!!!! Unless you are on a liquid diet...then spank yourself, otherwise carry on!!! What do you think was wrong with what you ate?

I have been very careful not to eat Pasta, and I slipped. You are probably right, but I am so afraid that I will do something to sabotage myself and gain weight back. I have been on too many diets, too many times, and always gained the weight back, and more.

Thank you so much, for setting me straight. I appreciate your words.

Pasta is not all bad. Fair amount of protien. One cup... no big deal.

I'm a calorie counter, not a carb counter, so I eat pasta once in a great while. As long as I stay within my daily calorie intake, I don't rule out any food.

Good Luck to you!

If you are one of the lucky ones that can eat pasta, go for it...of course whole wheat cardboard, I mean pasta is better for you, but unless you get issues from a food it is good to get nutrition from all of the food groups...and the sauce with tuna was an outstanding nutritional choice. Just measure the pasta and keep it to a normal serving size.

Since I don't know what type of pasta you ate nor how much try going here and see if this helps you find the calories: http://caloriecount.about.com/tag/food/pasta

Hope that helps!
