I hope I do not sound like a complete fool by telling you all this, although I know I definitely feel like one.
I had bought a box of Barilla Piccolino cartwheels and for some reason when I made pasta (for 1) I just assumed the 2oz. serving = 1/2 a cup. Apparently, even with all my education, it didn't occur to me to do the math...that 2oz. serving = 1/4 cup = 200 CALORIES!!!!!!! Yikes!! 200 calories for ~20 mini cartwheels...are you kidding me? So, I've actually been eating 200 calories over my daily allowance on days when I eat this pasta. After the box is gone I am done with the piccos!
Fun times. This kind of *brain fart* ever happen to anyone else?? And anyone know of a better pasta where I can eat more with not as many calories?
Thanks!
