Making a healthy choice use to be simple - choose low-fat. Now, in addition to the low-fat choices you have high protein and low- carb options. Have you seen "low-carb pasta"? Is it a healthier choice than the pasta you know and love? Read the Nutrition section to find out! Best of health!

A: Whole-grain pasta is a better choice. If you take a look at the Nutrition Facts labels, you will see that the low-carb pasta contains fewer calories, but the portion size is much smaller - 1.3 ounces versus 2 ounces. The whole-wheat spaghetti is higher in potassium, fiber and B vitamins and is a good source of iron. The keto spaghetti is higher in salt and protein - two nutrients that are too high anyway in the American/Western diet. Both contain the same amount of calories per gram. This is because protein and carbohydrate contain the same calories per gram - 4.
