True. I think it depends if pasta is the main or just a side dish. But weighing spaghetti on a scale is pretty cumbersome. I’m just imagining the infomercial of some guy knocking the plate off the scale and then spaghetti is all over the floor saying there’s got to be a better way and then another guy comes up, and rips off his shirt to reveal his spaghetti portoner nipple ring.

That being cumbersome sounds weird to me, but it’s probably due to me always having a scale with a bowl at the ready, so it might be different for others

I just take half the box and boil that, eat half of that, then eat the other half the next day

Not a fan of reheating pasta when it’s so easy to make a fresh batch tbh

I’m a single guy. I’m not cooking dinner for 1 two nights in a row.

I’ve never thought about my spaghetti weight wise. I usually put like a bit less than half a 500g box/package. So ~200ish grams. But I usually eat twice out of it so, yeah guess the guy saying 100g is pretty accurate.

I have a scale and normally weigh 140g for one meal. I might be fat. :x

It depends on your lifestyle obviously. I have a sedentary job so I need to be a bit mindful of what I put inside my body
