Know your portion sizes!
Did you know that a single serving of pasta is only 2 oz? And in those 2 oz is around 200 calories! Do you know what 2 oz of pasta looks like? Let me show you...
That's not a lot of pasta is it? If you're like me you like to fill that plate and go back for seconds! The calories add up where you least expect them so know your portions!

actually, the portion size of 2oz is usually referring to 2 oz of dry pasta, which equates to about a cup of cooked pasta...
good to know because that just scared me!!
Yes, a serving is 2oz dry pasta, which cooks up to almost 1 cup. For a bigger bonus I always eat FiberGourmet pasta (which you can buy online only I think) because it only has 130 calories for 2 oz and lots of fiber :)
