none of the multigrains are whole wheat. none of the low carb options are whole wheat.

truth is i use very little pasta... maybe a touch in a cassarole as a side but since a serving is just 1/2 cup that's not a lot. and i only use whole wheat. rotini, or penne usually.

I honestly can't remember and we don't have any in the cupboard right now. I do remember the box is brown, there's a "window" in the front, and it's whole wheat rotini.

And Nessa gave me the best advice EVER of making sure the bury my 1/2 cup pasta serving in a mountain of sauce loaded with protein. I'm a vegetarian, so I use the soy crumbles that are like ground beef. It's a really filling meal - 1/2 cup of pasta with at least a cup of "meat" sauce and a huge salad on the side! Oh, and put away any leftovers before you sit down to eat so you're not tempted to snack on them after you've finished your meal.

I was a vegetarian for years and years, but back in....oh.... I believe 2002 (?) I started eating meat again. Funny thing is, I at lots of soy products when I was a vegetarian. Now when I eat them, it feels like I have a small allergic reaction, where soy milk makes my neck break out horribly, and veggie burgers give me a slight itch on the neck. Very odd....
