Is Pasta(spageti Etc) a very good carb for cutting..karma for anwsers

[promet1]

Whole wheat Pasta is a better Choice........but Pasta is not a good cutting food......

Regular pasta= all purpose Flour, Egg, Water
White Bread= all purpose Flour , Water , Yeast, maybe a little oil

So is white bread have a good GI ??

100% semolina pasta seems to be good on th eGi scale...or am i wrong? Thats what i eat

Yes, the GI depends on the type of pasta. Stay away from the "instant" type pastas (easy mac.) 100% semolina is ussually good, but GI can vary according to processing and other fillers. Whole wheat seems to be the best.

I think it can be used just fine while cutting. Just remember - it's dense. It does not take much to add.

White pasta runs about 46 on the GI index and 40 in the insulin index; brown pasta runs 68 on the GI index and 40 on the insulin index.

Although both elicit the same insulin response, brown pasta may be better because it contains about 10 grams less carbs per serving.

Oatmeal has the same insulin index response as white and brown pasta.

White rice and brown rice respectively rate 79 and 62 on the insulin index. Potatoes rate 121.

Incidentally, cheese, beef and fish all elicit a higher insulin response (45, 51 and 59 respectively).

I agree with what Dial Tone is saying about the amounts. I love pasta and carbs but when dieting my sources of carbs come from mostly oatmeal and dextrose post workout. I like oatmeal better because you have to eat less of it to feel more full and that's a huge mental thing for me when cutting.

I would stick to brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal (not the instant stuff) for cutting.......just my opinion.....

A few suggestions for lowering the GI on pasta:

1. Get Whole Wheat Pasta
2. Undercook it.
3. Eat it with protien and fat.. this will lower the GI more than you can imagine. For example: look at the GI on peanuts.. the reason for the low GI: FAT. GI gets thrown out the window when you have protien and fat with the carbs..

Not too be a prick....but then how come you didn't know that pasta has a low g.i.?

I would stick to brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal (not the instant stuff) for cutting.......just my opinion.....
