On the diet note, I think its fine if you have a little bit. Try to make the pasta whole wheat but it sounds like there are some veggies in there and a lot of great ingredients. It's just the cheesy sauce thats gettin you down, but you could always strain it with one of those spaghetti forks or tongs, or if you wanna go strict strict, even rinse it off to save you some calories. Eating a small amount of real food is often better than eating a large amount of diet food, so go for it. Hope this helps!

Reply from sarah, Age 15 - 08/05/07 - IP#: 66.25.159.xxx i'm sorry. you cannot just work bad food into your calories. that's not what it's about. you want to eat good food. but have lots of calories. you need to think about sugar, fat, and sodium. you also want to pay attention to protein and fiber. you want to think before you eat something. "am i getting any benefit out of this??" if you eat a candy bar that is 200 calories.. vs. some fruit and veggies or popcorn that's worth 200 calories. you need to chose the best one by thinking.. "what will i gain from eating this?" you wnat to eat to live. you don't want to live to eat. from eating hte fruits and veggies you are getting fiber.. which helps lose weight.. plus most fruits and veggies have lots of cancer fighting and other help benefits. so.. that was in response to the comment before me. but.. what you ate pretty much has a whole lot of fat. so no.. i would not eat that if i were on a diet. but odn't worry about it you'll do better tomorrow. have whole grain pastas with homeade tomato sauce.. or olive oil and garlic. it's really yummy!!
