I'm talking about mostly complex carbs. I mostly eat complex carbs that have fiber, especially legumes, but I also enjoy the sugary snack (no more than 100 calories though) once a day. The key thing is that it's once a day.

I prefer exotic white rice to brown but I add to the nutritional content by pairing it with my favorite beans of choice.

I finally read the ingredients list on a box of whole wheat pasta. The only ingredient is whole wheat. I had stopped getting it because I thought maybe it also contained white flour.

So I bought some. I really like it, it's so convenient. And whole wheat pasta can't be too bad for health, can it?

I looked up Barilla whole grain and it doesn't look bad, for pasta.

39 grams carbs
7 grams fiber


Personally, I wouldn't eat it day after day, but let's face it, there is a lot worse out there you could be eating.

That's the one I have been getting, I love it. I won't eat it every day, but probably very often.
