The stuff tastes great and it has like 13 grams of protein and 350mg of omega-3 per serving! I just started seeing it at Publix, it is in a yellowish container. :cheers:

I'm not familar with this product specifically, so this comment may or may not apply... but I've noticed that several companies are producing multi-grain and or whole-wheat blend pastas.
The key there being that idea of a 'blend.' One company sells a product with 'whole grain wheat' in big lettering across the front with 'blend pasta' in smaller letters. A close look at the ingredients show that it is simply standard-fare samolnella pasta with some whole grain wheat added (the last ingredient on the label.)
You might want to re-check the label and see if you aren't basically eating just regular old spaghetti or penne with some additions. Of course, there are several whole wheat/whole grain options, including some organic pastas; but I'd want a second look at the label of the multi-grain. Hopefully it's 'as advertised.'

Why would you feel guilty anyways? The GI on pasta is anywhere from 38-46 depending on what kind it is. That is very low GI.

Really Really Good Looking
I agree, I've heard the whole no pasta during cutting thing a millions times, but the GI on regualr pasta is very low to begin with. I've been using Barilla plus for a few weeks not and usually have a nice sreving after a leg or back day. Tastes friggin great with a grea nutritional profile. Very good stuff indeed!

For example, small changes like drizzling olive oil on your salad instead of using traditional salad dressing, incorporating more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables in your diet, walking and taking the stairs instead of driving and using the escalator can add up to a big difference over time.

It looks pretty good.
I certainly wouldn't eat it in order to get my omega-3s from it, but while you're eating pasta you might as well get the bonus!
Presently, when I eat pasta, I use whole wheat organic penne from Bionaturae and whole wheat spaghetti from Heartland.
