Will I gain weight by eating pasta?

Im into just eating pasta cooked with sugar for 5 mins on high temp eat 2times aday but will it make me gain weight or lose it

it is high in carbohydrates and a lot of athletes use it to get them selves ready for a big event for examle a marathon runner on the night/day before a race will carbo load and past usually is involved in this it I a slow/steady release of energy, potentially you could gain a little bit of wait by it but if your doing exercise and have a healthy diet you should be fine.

from naomi.

you could gain weight with them, since the carbs arent used up quick they can form fat, question is do you want to gain or loose weight with them?

want to lose weight but am stuck on pasta here

If that's *all* you're eating, you'll probably lose weight, but it's also an extremely unhealthy diet.

and fruit

you have to vary your diet, fruits and veggies are good as well, dont just stick to pasta you could become less energized if its the only thing you eat and you will become unhealthy, also try doing some sports. always keep a balance of nutrients you take into your body and you will lose weight while being as you are (healthy I mean).

You need more than just pasta to be healthy. Typical pasta is made from white flour which is a refined carbohydrate. White flour is wheat that has its germ and bran removed then what remains is nearly pure carbohydrate which is ground so it enters your bloodstream even more quickly. If you are eating pasta for a lot of your calories you should look into the whole wheat variety. Some brands of whole wheat pasta frankly don't taste very good but if you try a few brands you should find one that tastes good and is more nutritious than white pasta.

Like others said, eat fruits and vegetables as well. Steamed, boiled, and grilled vegetables are low calory and packed with nutrients.

You put sugar in your pasta cooking water? I never heard of that.

you know im not positive but I heard that you do gain weight by eating pasta, if you want to lose weight eat a lot more fruits and vegestables and drink lots of water.

do you want to lose weight? Then pasta may not be the right way to go.If your stuck on the pasta thing ok but not everyday. otherwise pasta rocks!

From your other posts I thought you were trying to gain weight?

I am

it depends on what type and with what. if you eat whole wheat pasta with little oil and margarine it is fine. dont eat that mush of it though. it also doesnt give us any protein
