Whole Wheat Pasta - Facts

1 cup of low fat, whole wheat pasta has 174 calories, 7g of protein, 34g of complex carbohydrates, 1g of fat and 4g of fibre.

Because it digests slowly, it is a good choice to eat about an hour before working out or before strenuous activity. For post workout, stick with regular pasta. Top with fresh tomatoe sauce for a good dose of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that will boost heart health and aids in muscle recovery.
