Should I steer clear of white pasta at all costs on a diet?!

[Anonymous]

there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to eat around the house and I haven't eaten anything ALL DAY. the only things that are available, literally, are a bag of potato chips, cheerios, pasta, hot dog, pasta sauce, red pepper, and chicken.

I am on a weight loss diet currently, and I am undergoing a hard decision- shall I wait my hunger out until my parents decide to go grocery shopping and eat dozens of ice pops just to quell my hunger, or should I give into eating pasta mixed in with red pepper and cut up slices of hot dog? Is white pasta really a sinful food for dieters? For the record, I haven't really been eating clean for the past few days, and I want to start making up for it by eating "cleaner".

okay people, I'm going in for a chicken stir fry, and add in all sorts of veggies to it...

The pasta is fine every once in a while just don't eat tons of it. I'd be more worried about the hot dog and pasta sauce.

Pasta is OK. It's not super healthy but it won't ruin your diet either. It's the processed food such as hot dogs, pasta sauces, ceral ...

What I don't get if you have chicken at home, why not eat the chicken with the pepper?

[xzinax2]

you have choices,so don't eat it. eat the pepper and chicken.

White pasta is "bad" for dieters because it's high in carbs, thus lots of calories.

Like the others mentionned though, you have chicken, just eat that instead. And if that's not enough, then make a tiny portion of pasta with it. It'll be better than a plate full of pasta.

i never said I was ONLY going to eat ice pops, just for the time being until my mom makes a trip to the market and buys some healthy food.
